that's pretty condescending for someone with a pretty unique way of spelling 'knollageable'....
damn yuh hittin hard there...
Trying to distinguish between arrogance and confidence is useless, because there is very little distinction.
Arrogance is just an outward communication of confidence- some forms of such communication are more obnoxious than others. In sports if you channel your confidence through your style of play, and it's effective people are hardly likely to see it as arrogance......on the other hand if your confidence is primarily communicated verbally, you will be seen as arrogant. People are more offended by such "arrogance"...
I think all athletes strive for the utmost confidence- everyone has a different way of expressing such confidence.
that's how I see it.
