REFLECTION
Distance makes everything look simple. From outside the fence the decision was obvious, the pass was on, the mistake was avoidable, because none of the pressure, the noise or the half second you actually had is visible from a parked car. Commentary from people who never stepped on the field is cheap for exactly that reason.
Sort your critics by whether they have ever been in it. Listen closely to the ones who have, even when it stings, since they know what the moment feels like. From everyone else, take the information and leave the verdict.
What are you certain about in something you have never done?
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
