Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant was a guest on WCNN in Atlanta (via SportsRadioInterviews.com) with the Rude Awakening and he was asked about the pressure of kicking a game-winning field goal the way he did this past Sunday.
“I’ve tried to approach every kick the same way — the nerves, the emotion and everything else, it’s definitely there leading up to the game. For kickers, I think you have to be able to manage the situation, and once you step out across those white lines it’s kind of like a twilight zone and you go to a different place. You go somewhere else. It’s kind of like Happy Gilmore, you just try to go to a happy place.”
Happy Gilmore is a classic. Gotta love Bryant for his honesty.
