Well... When you loose and you think you could play much better, that hurts. Sometimes that throws me back for few days, sometimes for weeks... Online materials and books on mental game that's where I try to find some advises, or if you have a good teacher that may help as well. There are so...

I played OnePocket, but only a few times. What way it is helping? Need to try more...

Just to be clear, it is not like I am loosing motivation because of the misses etc (can fix that with drills), I just don't have enough focus cause of drained motivation, and play badly now in offences/defenses and shaping. Interestingly, I still have motivation during friendly games, and play...

I am 5. Was 6 not for long, dropped back. Nope, no hesitation during the game. Just not taking winning seriously anymore. Small things add up (a miss, a failed defense, etc) and I loose. Winning rate is now 30%. Was above 60% for 3 years...

I tried to take some breaks. Was not helping much, taking a break is a great suggestion though. I guess loss of motivation is related to whether you want to beat someone (you have some kind of anger in a good sence) or you are find just enjoining hitting balls... After the break, I am not...

Playing one shot at a time is a great suggestion. Mostly will help I guess though if you already have the motivation. Will try it, and see if it creates motivation as well...

Can get expensive I am afraid :-). But good suggestion, thanks!

Hi I was wondering why I was not able to get into a good stroke while playing competitive games, for almost a half a year. I tried everything I could to get the stroke back, but it looks now like I just lost motivation, I don't try to win that hard anymore. What you do in situations like that?

I've been facing this problem for a while now. I am actually loosing my game also when I play a weak opponent that is playing much better than normal. I talked to more experienced players, some are saying "just play your game" (yeah of course), some are confirming they are playing mouse/cat game...

Well that was the point of the question. If you can stop thinking about that, and start to play like you do during practices, you will be able to be at the top of your play. With those skills mentioned, try to use a competitive game next time to create a plan how you can improve one of those...

Can you name something you think about during games but not during practices? Or can you name a skill you need to improve the most?

Next time you play just try to use the game to find your current biggest issue related to fundamentals. Being occupied by that, you may be able to not think about winning/loosing.

Yes I am! New to the forum though, didn't find how to send private message to you
