Stay humble right after a win. That’s when people are looking for a reason to root against you.

Success shifts how people look at you, and not always warmly. A win makes you visible, and visibility draws a certain amount of scrutiny from people quietly hoping the next part goes badly. Modesty afterwards is less about virtue than about not handing them anything to work with.

After something goes well, credit the people who helped and say less about yourself than you want to. Let the result be the loud part. You keep the goodwill of the room and lose nothing you actually wanted.
