Peterson believes that avoiding difficult conversations is one of the fastest ways to weaken your mind. And honestly, he's right. I used to be the king of avoidance. If something felt uncomfortable, I'd find every excuse to dodge it. "It's not the right time," I'd tell myself. Or my personal favorite: "Maybe the problem will just go away." Spoiler alert: It never did.

The feeling of euphoria that comes with a late winner is addictive, as Liverpool have found out, but it is not a sustainable plan. Virgil van Dijk was the fifth player to settle a match in dramatic fashion in as many games for the Premier League champions this season but his 92nd-minute goal against Atletico Madrid was only the fourth-latest in the team's series of extraordinary climaxes.

The most important thing is that we won. Psychologically it is tough to give away a three-goal lead, but we showed our mental strength.

Stephen Bradley lauded the resilience of 16-year-old Michael Noonan, emphasizing how his extraordinary performance on the pitch was even more remarkable given the challenging circumstances surrounding his family.
