I agree with k'max. Too much anticipation can lead you to miss the unexpected cut. OTOH too little engagement can mean that you're not exerting enough authority over the shiai (this especially when you're chushin).

I've always marvelled at how easy it is to see the cut when in the audience (or even on the sidelines waiting to rotate on as a shimpan), and how hard as soon as you step into the shiaijo. Nerves obviously make you a little blinder than normal.
