These past couple of weeks I have been growing more excited for training camp. But during this process of excitement, I began to stress about all of the things I still needed to pack and how to pack them. My focus began to shift from camp to being “stuff” oriented. I was thinking too much on what I don’t have yet and what I still needed to purchase in order to be prepared. This past Sunday night, My dad and I were figuring out how to pack my backpack the best when I began to become very frustrated at how things were fitting. My dad noticed this in how I was talking and the attitude I carried and said to me, “Nick, you are sitting in your living room trying to pack this thing and this is how your taking it. Imagine being in another country and somethings not going they way you want it. is this going to be how you carry yourself?” And that got me thinking, why am I stressing over something that doesn’t matter? Im not leaving the country tomorrow, I am going to training camp. So the pack was the easy thing. Now I can only prep my mind for what is to come. These next ten days I am going to be trying not to stress over the little things and the things out of my control. I will be taking things as they come and will be having fun doing it.
