Examples of Composure in a Sentence
We let the game come to us, it wasn’t pretty. It was a little ugly. But we came out with the win and that’s because we kept our composure and we kept with it.
I didn’t want to go home. There was no time to be tired, our mindset was gather my teammates together and regrouping and to contain our composure and let’s get this win.
We don't back down from much. There's something to be said for keeping your composure this time of year, if you have to take a punch early in the game like Stu-ee did to get a power-play goal, those are the things that factor into wins.
As a team we talked about it, to try to keep our composure whenever the opposing team tries to foul us hard or tries to hit us or play dirty, obviously, Im not going to look to the referees for protection. Ive just got to play smart and try to avoid the situations.
Definitely I had very slow start. I felt like I was hitting the ball all right, but I was just missing the easy put-aways, i nearly came back in the first set, but was really happy I kept my composure for the second and definitely in the third to stay on top.
