Option 2

Losing in the playoffs (or any time really) is no fun, but Mia Lavoie tries not to let a loss get her down. From her perspective, every loss is an opportunity to learn and develop more both as a player and a person. Sure it can be frustrating or even downright upsetting when things don't work out, especially when something as prestigious as the Challenge Cup is involved.. but Mia is usually pretty quick to bounce back and prepare for the next time she reaches that level and, hopefully, beyond. When she's in it and the pressure starts to get a little tight, she just looks for ways to keep calm and ground herself. This usually just involves taking things one day at a time, one game at a time, one problem or celly at a time. In rare circumstances where that mentality doesn't work, a big post-game poutine does wonders for calming the soul and bringing her back to a good place.
