Remarkably candid remarks from Sklyer Woodward about his poor play recently. This what he told a WNT interviewer after a win yesterday.
“It feels good to actually practice for a week. I can show up at a tournament and actually start off playing good instead of trying to play myself into stroke, like I have been the last year or two.
Just telling the truth. It actually does feel good to be playing good the whole time instead of up and down. It’s nice."
Woodward said he was upset at his poor play and early exit from the Arizona Open. He recounted his reaction:
“Well, I said a few nasty words. I called my wife, and said, look, babe, clear my pool table off. When I get home. it’s all on. I’m practicing.
I haven’t had motivation since before Covid, really. I don’t know what it is. It finally triggered me. It feels good to actually want to play pool again instead of just show up at the tournament and play. I can get in stroke within in a couple of matches, but it feels good to practice and feel way more confident and comfortable over the ball."
