I think last year I really shyed away from that with how I did freshman year, kind of brought a more laid back approach, but obviously going into championship season now. Kind of just, not exactly going insane but just driving myself to that place mentally and obviously it’s not good, but it’s if it’s gonna make me throw farther than I can’t complain.”
