Anticipation is Hesitation I was watching the olympics yesterday. 100m hurdle race. One of the athlete flinched a little on the gun shot and resulting in her finishing last. The commentator said that she was trying to anticipate the gunshot that's why she flinched and hesitated. An athlete has to react to a gunshot not anticipate it. I was thinking this applies to stuttering too. Also, "Hesitation is Defeat" - Isshin, Sekiro
