Herm Edwards or Kent Olsson?
A football quote reminded me of Kent Olsson. The quote is from the Chiefs coach and is his advice to a rookie player who was performing below expectations at the beginning of training:
You’re trying way too hard. You’re a good player and that’s why we drafted you. You just need to relax and have some fun. Stop trying so hard.
Olsson talks about relaxing and not trying too hard. He says that nobody ever had a bad race because they "tried to easy" but that trying too hard leads to stress and mistakes.

There isn't much forest in Iceland. This snapshot is from a planted forest near Geysir.
