Tom Goforth took a deep breath and bounced lightly from one foot to the other. He could feel his heart rate increase, and the blood pulse through his face and hands. This was his routine, his ritual before a big presentation. He had to get moving, get his energy up. The crowd could sense his excitement, and it helped get them worked up.
