Guys confidence is NOT arrogance, and confidence is NOT a bad thing. Overconfidence is bad, but when you’re up against someone good and you think to yourself “I’m gonna have to drop hard to win” then surely that’s a good thing? What isn’t good is going into a battle thinking “I’m 10 times the battler, lover, fighter etc than you are, I’m gonna half ass and still win.” When that happens, you get beat, simple as. No if nor buts, if you end up doing that and get beat by a newb then you deserve to lose and it’s 100% your own fault.
