Cam Sexton has learned not to beat himself up after errors

Posted Nov 7, 2008
Quarterback Cameron Sexton's development at North Carolina this season has hinged on advice that he first received from his high-school coach more than four years ago. No longer does Sexton harshly criticize himself for a mistake, dwell on an error or expect to play a perfect game. "I'm really stubborn; I've always been stubborn," Sexton said. "It's probably one of my weaknesses. I always felt like I could do (anything) and squeeze this ball in here or there." (Winston-Salem Journal)
