Reframe your emotions
For them, "stress" is a negative.
"It's just really cool to get the opportunity to have all that pressure on you," Joey told me before the season-ending race at Homestead in 2016, where he had a shot to win that year's championship.

Logano reframed "pressure" into a positive.
