I definitely didn’t have manifesting figured out. I kept trying different techniques, getting nowhere and wondering what I was doing wrong.

You hit the nail on the head, Coach Reyes. Back in my day, we called that true craftsmanship, and it's rare to see a youngster with that kind of discipline nowadays.
