playing to the home crowd

Sarah,

We know the stands at Peoria will be filled with Sarah Rousey fans, including me. Does that help you play well, or does it add performance pressure that makes it harder? What about all the people who want to say "hi" and buy you dinner?

See you there, I'll be rooting for you!

Hey Boyd,

I have to say it is a little bit of both. Of course I want to do well in front of my home crowd. I really appreciate the massive amount of support that I get at this tournament. I haven't played all that well at this tournament so I feel like I have let alot of people down, friends and family. At the same time it is a confidence builder to know that so many people are there to give support. I am due to have a good tournament and it would be great for it to happen in Peoria.

As for people saying hi, I enjoy it. I haven't been around this area much in the past few years so I really look forward to seeing people that I only see a few times a year.

I'm glad you are going to make it again this year. See you soon.

Sarah
