I saw this quote somewhere else and thought it was good. I'm not American or into sport here in my own country, let alone in other countries, so didn't realise who I was quoting. Thanks for the comment, Richard. In no way do I support Joe, the man, but I have to leave the quote there because it is so true. As I said ... "And sometimes, in public speaking, (as, no doubt, in sport, we need to be reminded of the vital connection!!)"

Sometimes I feel they do, and that is when they truly can engage an audience ... or assault the unthinking.
Words ought to be a little wild for they are the assaults of thought on the unthinking.
John Maynard Keynes
The way to gain a good reputation, is to endeavor to be what you desire to appear. - Socrates
There may be other reasons for a man's not speaking in publick than want of resolution: he may have nothing to say.
Samuel Johnson (1709 - 1784)
Could this be the reason so many people fear impromptu speaking?
