First snooker tournament this weekend...

[Norm Craig]

Any suggestions on getting prepared? I've played lots of pool tournaments but it doesn't quite feel the same. The morning of, do you stretch, have a way to warm up your cueing arm/shoulder, getting mentally prepared for the longer games? AM I OVER-THINKING IT?!?!?!
Thanks in advance,
Norm

You're over-thinking it. So, how'd you do?

Shoot drills. Relax. Don't panic until you reach the table, and then PANIC!!!

Sorry, just kidding.

If you're nervous, that's okay. Perhaps tell some jokes to relax a bit, but whenever possible try to run on automatic. Before a future match you can read a book on pool or sports psychology such as Pleasures of Small Motions by Bob Fancher and get some additional ideas.
