I had a (big) tournament this weekend....2 day event....first match lost...then i climbed up the losers side....made it to sunday..won two matches on sunday......
3rd match...Im playing against someone I think should be able to beat. First rack run out to perfect position on the 8 then i baby the shot into the side pocket...hang the ball and dont even hit a rail...guy gets out...next rack ..i run down and hook myself on my last ball..guy gets out....all in all i lost 5-0 when i literally gave the guy 3 games....
What are some key thoughts that you guys think separate the pros from the amateurs? I definitely think my physical game is strong....but clearly i let my few mental errors still my match from me.....
I really want to take my game to the next level...and the thoughts are going to get me there...what did you all learn as you we're coming through the ranks...
