"It's just like I'm going to take my kids to school today verses letting them ride the bus."

A Zoomster question from Gary Larsen:

Can you describe what it feels like to be up on the big box, making pit calls, or does it go so fast that you don't feel it?

"You get in a routine where you get used to doing it and you'll make a call where it's just like I'm going to take my kids to school today verses letting them ride the bus. You are used to doing it all the time."

"It didn't used to be that way. Sometimes you'll make a call and after you've done it and after it's all over, you wish you hadn't done that. But it's not a big deal really. It's something I've done for along time and I think the longer you've done it, the more comfortable you are with it. You're always worried if it's going to be the right thing or not. It's just another part of making a decision.
