Strive to be fearless. What does that mean?
Self-made billionaire Spanx CEO Sara Blakely says people tell her, "you're so fearless." She answers, "No, I'm not." She's afraid of heights, flying, public speaking. But she overcomes her fears, even holding a "Comedy Night" for her employees where everyone performs standup.
Share examples. The Patriots faced the 'Greatest Show on Turf' in 2002, with an unheralded quarterback (Tom Brady) against Kurt Warner and the NFL's highest octane offense. Virtually no one gave the 14-point underdog a chance...except the Patriots.
Harvard's women met Stanford at Palo Alto in the 1998 NCAAs as a 16 versus 1 mismatch. That didn't prevent the Crimson from winning. A future ER doctor made the winning basket.
As an underdog, believe and compete.
Unheralded doesn't mean untalented. Trust YOUR ability and system. "It's just a game."
There no shame in defeat but never fail to show up.

Lagniappe 2. Consistency is more than the hobgoblin of foolish minds.
Deion Sanders said, "You don't have to be great or successful to be consistent. But, you do need to be consistent to be great or successful."
Consistency is rare.
