Trouble on the lake erie shore #3

That is something you have control of. The better you DB, the fewer backslides the quicker your W will gain confidence in your R and the quicker things will progress. Backslides put doubt in your W. I think the most important part about backslides is how you handle yourself afterwards. If you backslide and react poorly to your W's reaction then that is a double backslide and I feel the "damage" is worse than the two backslides combined. If you backslide and kind of laugh it off then you can almost eliminate the damage from the backslide....ie. you show confidence.
