Bit better prepared...

NERVES?!?!?! About a million times worse than the first time, EEEEKKK!!!!!

Once I got my head screwed back on I was fine, I've always been like that though, the more nervous I am the better I do, even though I feel like I'm doing crap

Sounds daft but I'm better if I don't "think"...
The more I think about something the more I worry if it's the right thing to do or not...
After years of "experience" and "stupid mistakes in the past", these days 99.9% of the time my first thought is usually the right one...

Practice helps, LOADS, just a case now of building experience and letting it become second nature...
