Everyone is different in how they have to prepare themselves mentally. Some football players have to get angry. They remind themselves of a past hurt or perceived injustice or thing said. Others play with joy because they love what they are doing. If you want something and that is all you think about, it is probably not going to serve the purpose that you need.
