This is a sport where you try to be better than the other guy. You want to earn their respect and dominate the competition.
Why hey do people have a problem with confidence? That's a fine line to cockiness but so what? If that what drives you to be better than others and you actually are, go on with your bad self. Why, in this generation, being full of yourself a bad thing? Everyone should be humble, bull ****, drive yourself to be the best!
Anyway, enough with that. I like the kid but he is small in stature. I'd support him if he's the pick.
