“It’s definitely tough, depending on how it goes. When you come out and you win, you feed off that. If we come out a little short, we’re gonna have to work through that,” says Nail. “We’ve worked on that mental side in the game too. You make a couple errors, you get down on yourself. I think there’s enough people that have been in this role, been in this situation before. They’re a really good group. They work well together, enjoy being around each other, a lot of good energy and positivity.”
