Kate Upton discusses her keys to dealing with pressure ahead of Justin Verlander’s season debut
With the Houston Astros bottom of the AL West with a 6-14 record, the franchise is looking for a change in fortunes. The Astros have had a tough start to the season and will be looking to get back to winning ways against the Washington Nationals on Friday.
The importance of the three-game series speaks for itself, as the team needs an injection of positivity almost as much as it needs to win games. Friday will also see the return of Justin Verlander, with the 41-year-old pitcher set to make his first start of the season. Many will be hoping Verlander can supply that spark to lift the team, which was recently swept 3-0 by the Atlanta Braves (6-1, 6-2, 5-4).
While speaking to PEOPLE, Kate Upton discussed how she composes herself when feeling overwhelmed.
“If I’m feeling overwhelmed, I like to go to my core basics, and that’s what Anne Klein really does well.”
While Justin Verlander has seen his fair share of pressure during his career, there will be a lot of people watching him with a keen interest when he takes the mound on Friday. At 41, many are wondering how long he can keep going, and how effective he will be on his return.
Given the pressure on both him and the team, it will be interesting to see if Verlander reverts to his core basics as he tries to right the Astros’ ship.
