The effects of stress
Stress can be involved in anyone’s life, no matter their age or status, and it can get frantic trying to be able to deal with it.

Just being able to talk it out is the best kind of stress relief, probably because someone can usually give me an idea on how to work the situation out.

I don’t want this to sound like I 'm a bully, but I don’t use it to get mad, but I transfer it almost into adrenaline, to keep me going throughout the game and when it 's over I feel fresh, and without a care in the
