"That's the trademark of a dangerous competitor: he doesn't have to know what's coming because whatever you show him, he's ready. No fear of failure." - Tim Grover
Analytical, planning types like me don't respond kindly to the unknown. The need to have every risk covered is safe, and at times inferior in results. I've especially noticed this from a coach's seat where, as with most things in life, things rarely unfold according to any exact plan. There is certainly worth in preparation, the grunt work of mastering the little things of any craft. And also of great importance is the repetition of just jumping into the fray, armed with preparation, and training the mind to react to things on the fly. The mistakes that come along the way are not "failure," that word that seeds the breeding ground of fear. They're lessons.
