[QUOTE="4shotB, post: 837937, member: 844"] At his age, there is no way he was mentally prepared for this. No matter how much he actually believed that he was going to be facing a tremendous challenge, deep down I suspect he thought it would he would be ahead of where we actually are. I took an extremely difficult job once (against the advice of some people I trusted). They told me about the challenges and they were correct in retrospect. But to get that situation turned around was a much longer and tougher situation than I envisioned. Part of my difficulties was the fact that I had not been used to being challenged at that level. The level of energy and commitment to the task was greater than anything I had ever done before and there were moments of second guessing and regret. The only solution was to work tirelessly and eliminate the obstacles that kept me from reaching those objectives, no matter how unpleasant each specific task was. Fortunately this situation did work out and the effort paid future dividends. But to say I enjoyed in the moment would be false. It's similar to the situation us older guys saw on campus. How many high school valedictorians and whatnot who breezed through high school crumpled at Tech when their old methods of studying were no longer enough to be succesful? You either adapt or perish. It's up to Coach Collins how this story ends. [/QUOTE]
