Had the first night of the house league we signed up for on Tuesday. I started out a little shaky, but got it together and beat a solid 4.
I'd like some advice though... my wife plays on the same team as me in both of our leagues, and is truly a strong SL3, or even a week SL4. The problem is that she is playing like CRAP every league night, is still ranked an SL2 and has only won 2 of 7 matches.
She swears it isn't nerves and gets defensive when I try to talk to her about it. Everyone on both of our teams says it nerves though, and it seems to me like she is forcing every shot and not loosening up.
She is a much better shot even during warmups than during matches. She has played in small local tourneys a lot, and never had this problem in them, but this is her first session in leagues. She has the competitive edge and we play co-ed softball where she has never really had nerves or anything.
She won't listen to much of what I say about the subject, but after seeing guys playing with headphones in the last couple of weeks, I did recommend she give that a try this week (she has mentioned hearing people was bothering her). Aside from that, I have no ideas.
Any advice on how I can get her to settle in and play like she is capable of?
