Leo_E_49 Professional Poster Registered: 02/24/05 Posts: 4115 Loc: California	Have confidence in yourself; when it comes down to it, if you don't believe you can handle a situation, you won't be able to. Overconfidence can cause trouble, leading people to put themselves into dangerous situations but lack of confidence is equally dangerous and can cause a person to freeze or panic, instead of dealing with a situation as they have been trained. This is easier said than done but more training helps. Edited by Leo_E_49 (10/20/07 01:54 AM) _________________________ Self Defense (Website by Marc MacYoung, not me)
