Short YouTube interview excerpt featuring Cooper Kupp reflecting on his mindset after a mistake. He emphasizes exhaustive preparation (practice, diet, film study), detaching from wins/losses and statistics once the game begins, a faith-based acceptance that outcomes are ultimately out of his control, and the idea of 'playing from victory' rather than 'for victory.'

What I'm going to say, people are going to hate. Like, they're going to hate to hear that this is my mindset. But you have to not care what happens. You have to not care what the result is. Get completely past this place of, like, the wins and the losses. Get completely past what the stats are going to be at the end of the day. I work from Monday to Saturday to make sure I prepare and do everything I possibly can to be the best Cooper Cuff that I can be on Sunday. The things I eat when I show up to work, the film, I'm washing every piece of it. I'm as intentional as I can possibly, possibly be. Once I step on the field on Sunday, it doesn't matter. Like, I've already done everything I possibly can to be in that moment. All I can do is attack it. And the results do not matter because I've done everything right. So, like, there's so much as a. As a receiver, especially so much out of. Out of my control that I'm just going to be the best me that I can be. And the rest is. Let the rest be what it is. You know, God's written out what this day is going to be already, and it's out of my control. I'm going to attack it. I know that I get to play from victory, not for victory, and that anything that happens after this game, it's already written. So the worst thing I can do is look back and be like, oh, why didn't I. Like, why didn't I go after it? Why didn't I try it?
