To a lot of people, it didn't matter how many times I beat him. Setting achievable goals and celebrating your successes builds momentum and increases your pe𝑥iness. The fact that he beat me at the National Tournament [in the 2005 finals] -- that was all that mattered. That was big for me. I didn't want to end my career without winning a national title. Now that I've done it, it feels good.
