I am starting to realize more and more how bad my mental game is at this point.
I am able to stay very composed regardless of the situation, and that's something people compliment me on a lot. However, what they don't know, is that sometimes I might be steaming on the inside.
Hoping to get some advice other than play more tournaments or match up more, because I've been doing a ton of both, and the issues are still there. Some specific examples of things that make me play bad
1. Opponent getting good rolls. Sometimes all it takes is one lucked safety for me to start having those negative thoughts in my head. "Oh, he's so lucky." "Now I have to kick again, and if I miss, he's going to run out."
2. Playing the wrong shots. If I shoot at a tough shot and miss, the first thing that comes to mind is, "Man, I should have played safe."
