for this! It is so much appreciated!

I do not see any benefit in wasting energy. Being nervous uses up so much energy that can be used in a positive way. Being limited as I am, I view everything in the context of boxing. I remember circa 1972, being at the Golden Gloves in Troy, NY. Cus D'Amato was downstairs in the locker room. At the time, he was managing top middleweight contender Eugene "Cyclone" Hart, who asked him if he wanted to go upstairs to watch the fights? "No," Cus said, "I can see everything I need to here." That always stuck with me.
