• "Pressure is a privilege" (Pep Guardiola) which Jennielle heard while watching All or Nothing—Manchester City. As Jennielle says, "I was watching the show with my husband one night, and there was a scene when he was talking to his team in the locker room and he very nonchalantly said, 'pressure is a privilege' (which I’m sure was in between a few curse words) and I emailed the four words to myself at that moment."
