Ask yourself Quote by Ovince Saint Preux
“I wouldn't say I doubted myself, but when you have a lot of people telling you that you're good, sometimes you ask yourself, 'Am I that good?' So when you actually go out against those opponents and take care of business, you go, 'OK, I think I could push myself a little more.'”
