Thats right in line there. That has to be one of the best definitions of Heart I'v ever heard. All you league players listen up, I'm kiddin don't kill me.
Buddy pretty much sums it all up.. You've got to look at pressure as my opportunity to win and take it. Not as my opportunity to Not lose... That takes a lot of heart. There is a difference JMHO..
was watching my Buddy Hall/Earl Strickland tape of the match at, i believe the 2001 U.S. Open. the announcer said Buddy told him that he was going to "Rob Em!"
I don't believe that Earl played Buddy when that video was made. It was made with Buddy sitting next to the "Buddy Hall Table" at Planet 9-Ball back around the turn of the century and before/during/after a Florida Tour stop.

( that's the table that I used to play one-pocket on daily........... before I retired )
Edited to add: Before I'm corrected. It's possible that I'm mistaken, but I don't think so.....
Edited again to add: Sorry gpeezy, I didn't realize that you were replying to Dr. Cue's Protege, as I have them on IGNORE and didn't see their post. My bad.
In case anyone is interested, here's another Buddy Hall video, against Keith McCready:
