"I feel pressure's a privilege. If you don't have pressure then you'll probably be on Mad Monday right now," Walsh said.
"Everybody's got pressure but it's whether you want to go towards it or you want to go away from it. I feel like, myself as a character, I'm always trying to push towards it."
Walsh will line up in Sunday's away qualifying final against Canberra in a rich vein of form
The Broncos were outside the top eight after 13 rounds and in dire straits when Walsh returned from a seven-week break due to a knee injury to spark a revival.
They have won 10 games from 12 since.
He has 20 try assists from 18 games, including six in the last four matches while captain Adam Reynolds has been on the sidelines. In those four victories he has also scored five tries and landed 22 goals for a personal points tally of 64.
Fans see the brilliance but what they don't see are the hard yards. Broncos assistant coach Ben Te'o said on Triple M recently that Walsh was as dedicated as any player he had seen behind the scenes.
"You probably see some of the things that I do out on the field and a lot of people think that just happens," Walsh said.
"But a lot of time is spent on the training field, practising my craft. When those pressure moments come, it's falling back on my craft and skill to be able to execute.
"I've got a lot of work to do to get to my ceiling. I feel like I'm forever reflecting on my game and wanting to get better and that's something that I'll just continue to keep doing. I'll just keep working my butt off."
Walsh has eyes only for a title, so he can join the Brisbane greats that went before him.
"It would mean the world. All I want to do is wear the Broncos jersey for myself and win a premiership," he said.
"You create a legacy. No-one really remembers the ones that just get through it. You want to win a premiership and etch your name in history. That's something I want to chase but I know there's a lot of hard work to be done before then."
Walsh has had his moments where errors have cost the team but the good things continue to outweigh the bad.
"I'm not always going to get it right. I'm still this young man from Nerang," he said.
"I'm 23 years old and I'm on a stepping stone through my journey. I'm still a work in progress. There's going to be times where I slip up and get things wrong, but I guess it's trying to minimise that as much as I can.
"I love wearing this jersey. I love being at this club. I know I put the work in each week.
"Everybody might not see that but as long as everybody in these four walls sees it and are happy with the work ethic that I'm putting in, I don't really care what anyone says outside to be honest."
