I don’t try to focus on anything that doesn’t affect me personally and how I go out there every single day. I’m just going to continue to work hard and focus on what I can control.

Tebow frames performance and peace of mind as products of disciplined attention. By refusing to “focus on anything that doesn’t affect me personally,” he rejects the noise that surrounds public athletes—media narratives, criticism, speculation—and narrows his concern to daily preparation and effort. The second sentence makes the ethic explicit: consistent hard work plus concentration on controllables (attitude, practice habits, decision-making) rather than outcomes (playing time, wins, public approval). The quote reflects a pragmatic, stoic-inflected mindset common in elite sports: control the process, accept what you can’t command, and let results follow.
