Success makes you less intimidated by things.

I know what I need to work on; I know my weaknesses, but I have that work ethic to improve every day. I have that want to be the best player at my position, and I have the belief in myself that one day that will come true.

I'm about being the best.

Live daringly, boldly, fearlessly. Taste the relish to be found in competition - in having put forth the best within you.

You'll never do a whole lot unless you're brave enough to try.
