Try but don't try too hard. Just try hard enough, and things will go better.
You literally can't do any more than your best so that was always my attitude and that is still my attitude, which is to go out there and give it my best every single night.
Each of us at any time and space is doing the very best we can with what we have.
The best results are achieved by using the right amount of effort in the right place at the right time. And this right amount is usually less than we think we need. In other words, the less unnecessary effort you put into learning, the more successful you'll be... the key to faster learning is to use appropriate effort. Greater effort can exacerbate faulty patterns of action. Doing the wrong thing with more intensity rarely improves the situation. Learning something new often requires us to unlearn something old.
There is always that need to feel that you're doing your possible best.
One of the rarest things that a man ever does, is to do the best he can.
The primary reason we do too much is that we have never taken the time to discover that portion of what we do that makes the biggest difference.
I'm pretty relaxed, trying to enjoy the races, trying to do the best I can in the car, trying to the give the best to the team, and that's the most important thing.
You will be competing against athletes from many nations. But, most important, you are competing against yourself. All we expect is for you to do your very best, to push yourself just one second faster, one notch higher, one inch further.
