You get yourself in a positive mental state by psyching out your opponents and smelling the fear from their every pore. Sorry to burst your bubble, but giggly thoughts of unicorns, bubblegum, and rainbows do not make you a bad mutherf*cker. Making your opponents shit themselves before the event begins, does. And this young lady has done it by making it look like she is thinking about unicorns, bubblegum, and rainbows. But she's not; And the other sprinters know it. Ergo, she is an even badder mutherf*cker.
Not when I raced. Everyone has their own way of motivating themselves, I didn't have to worry about how other people felt about me to be fast, only how I felt about myself. She looks the same, in my opinion. To me, it looked like she was clearing out all other distractions and pumping herself up. Joy was a much better fuel than anger or arrogance, for me.
