a quick background story......we play in pretty small leaques and play many of the same teams over and over, so about a year ago in a regional tourney my team played a team we regularly see and I went up first at the time as a 4 and played the other teams captain whom happens to be female and completely dominated her.....long story short over the past year evertime we play them it is like she just has to play me........and I have dominated her......I don't like the word "owned" but you know what I am getting at........anyway how do you find motivation when this happens?? She is obviously motivated to beat me....The last time we played I went up with a good feeling she was gonna play me......and I didn't really play well, almost sleepwalking, and still beat her 4-0.....she just self distructs.......we play them next week and I don't want to lose to her cause I am lazy/unmotivated.....hell I don't really want to play her......should I just tell the captain to put me on somebody instead of going up blind?? or have I just lost my mind?? I tire from playing the same matchups I can't tell in league if I am really getting better I just keep beating the crap out of the same people........OK rant over thanks for listening :confused:
 
Like you said, tell your captain what's up. Make sure he doesn't throw you up blind unless this woman's already played, or to throw you up when the other team throws someone else up. If this woman gets worked up over it, just smile and shrug, "wasn't my choice, my captain threw me up"-style.
