I was an amateur, and I was just a peanut-size drop in the ocean compared to them, but they worked with me, but they didn&#8217;t baby me with it, and they didn&#8217;t try to ruin my confidence. That&#8217;s why I tell people, don\u2019t hurt a young kid that&#8217;s trying to learn this trade, because you may be stopping a future world champion only because he doesn&#8217;t have any experience, and you just took advantage of it.
