Thanks again 🙂 ---

Does anyone know if it’s worth going to the texas state contest as a spectator? Will there be vendors or anything? I live in Houston so it would be a bit of a drive. ---

> [@sstaylor](#): > > btw. what are some things you can do to make yourself seem more pro/confident? thx guys 😛 I’d personally say it’s important that you enjoy yourself. Enthusiasm is contagious and it’ll help get the crowd going. Even if you mess up, even if you aren’t all that good, if you’re having a good time people will enjoy your performance. 🙂 That’s my opinion of it anyway. Look at Robert Kucera’s recent EYYC performance: [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/4/f/9/4f92dd04ab46aac5fb4ebc84fc09bb4c27276ac9.jpeg "C3yoyodesign presents : EYYC 2015 1A 5th - Robert Kucera") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9CvbSidttk) Even though he came 5th, I found it the most enjoyable freestyle of the entire day. I’m sure he enjoyed himself a lot more than many of the other competitors as well, plus the crowd loved it. 🙂 ---
