I was recently watching an episode of the Big Break Prince Edward Island. Eugene, Gerina, and Derek were in the elimination round. Eugene hit a bad shot and began berating himself: “That was terrible!” “I can’t believe I did that.” “I’m so stupid!” “This is just ridiculous!” I’ve forgotten all that he said but you [...]
