Ever have lack of confidence?

[Ron Antrim]

When I get to doubting myself and/or I get
behind, I have two thoughts I use to get me through the match.

No one is unbeatable on the strip, some way some how, my opponent is going to lose,maybe today is that day.

We have a 71 year old guy at our Salle who took up fencing at age 69. He regulary kicks butt, using clever deception and shear will.
I've learned from him to never, ever, give up.

Isn't it funny that Bob Hayes is saying that he's gone from the fastest human in the world, to the slowest and we are talking about 71 year olds kicking butt after only three years of taking up the sport or of 89 year olds qualifying for the world veteran championships!

Only if I am not warmed up. Once I get past that stage it is easy to deal with.

Bug, hon...first of all don't beat yourself up over it. Everyone has their moments.

Second...relax. If you're tense, it will show.

Third...who cares? You're not in it for money, or power, or fame. You're having fun, right? Remember that then go back to the second point!
