You can’t control the score. You can control whether you’re still moving when the whistle blows.

Outcomes are produced by many things, most of them outside you: who turned up, what the officials saw, what the other side did. What belongs to you is the effort, and whether it was still there at the end, which is both measurable and visible to everybody watching. That is the part people remember about a performance, yourself included.

Choose something you can judge yourself on regardless of the result, and make it about the last ten minutes. Still chasing, still talking, still in position. Check it honestly afterwards, and then let the score be the score.
