Question 122: Mental aspects

Counter Reply

Yea, it's true about the top racquetball and squash players don't move off the T, and your technique about concentrating on deception instead of trying to win the point maybe be the thing I should try to concentrate on, after writing to you I feel that I start to panic during matches of importance as I tend to win most friendlies I play, and freeze during tournaments.

Also I agree with your final paragraph about winning and loosing, not everyone can be a winner but to be fair I don't mind losing unless I play badly, I don't mind being beaten by a better player but losing to a worse player drives me up the wall.

Thank you again, I will try to concentrate on the deception and see how that goes.
