Cardinals and Reds play like it's personal every single time. 45,000 people watching, and the guys who win aren't the loudest ones. They're the ones who look bored. Nobody talks about this. Composure isn't a personality trait. It's a rep count. You get calm under a full stadium the same way you get calm in a boardroom that's about to fall apart. By doing the hard version first. Here's the mistake most people make. They wait for the high stakes moment to suddenly perform. That's not how nervous systems work. Do the hard thing on a random Tuesday. The rivalry game stops feeling like a rivalry game.
