A Japanese curler wrote a simple message on her hand to inspire self-confidence

Curling is a stressful sport.

With teammates counting on you and the margin between winning and losing often decided by inches if not millimeters, there's a lot of pressure on the ice to perform at your best at all times, especially at the Olympics.

To counteract the weight of competing at Beijing 2022, Japanese curler Satsuki Fujisawa found a sweet and simple way to remind herself to play her best and enjoy her time at the Olympics.

During a match against China, photographers noticed a message Fujisawa had written on her hand.

"I'm a good curler. I have confidence. Let's have fun!"

Fujisawa is the skip of the Japanese team, and after a win over Switzerland in the semifinals, has at least secured her team a silver medal, with a shot at the gold as they face Great Britain in the gold medal match.

If she ever needs a bit of encouragement, she knows right where to find it.
