Was there something specific that allowed you to get out of your own way?
Did you progress from a 'dead money' mind set to being competitive to being a threat to win every time you played? I'm not talking about gambling-but rather tournament or league play.
When and how did it become OK to win. Why wasn't it OK to win? Did you reevaluate the 'gotta go" mentality of low percentage shots and adopt instead a 'how to win from here' approach?, possibly including two-way shots that yield a safety if you miss but shape if you make it.
Did some big bright light bulb come on for you?
Thanks
