1)
I have more than enough strength and endurance to win and beat my opponent every time I play, and I always play to win.
2)
It's the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief and once that belief becomes a deep conviction things begin to happen.

And for fun:
If you even dream of beating me you better wake up and
apologize.

Get a Big picture of SVB up on the wall.... We all know his motivational saying is "They can't be me....." Take a Giant bright red magic marker to it and write across the whole thing... "Oh Yes I CAN!!!"
Somewhere out there someone is practicing. HARDER and LONGER than you are. When they meet you in competition they WILL beat you....

"It's just a game"
I always liked:
'Do you aim?'
and
'What the f.uck?'

I like that one very much Charlie.....When I was young and fearless I traveled to every tournament within driving distance... I never cared who I drew and I cashed in enough events to keep it fun and interesting.....
In my late 20s I matched up everywhere my job took me... Most fun I had was playing Reed Pierce in Jackson... He always got the money but I won sets and he beat me playing the right shots while I was fearless and was shooting at everything.... I didn't fear playing a US Open winner, or losing money, or missing....
Fast forward 20 years and playing a named pro now sends my anxiety thru the roof......
Last year I played the Music City open and crushed my first opponent 11-3 by coming out of the gate with a 6 pack.... Then I drew Max Eberle and won the lag and ran out the first rack.... I then broke em wide open and missed a straight in shot on the one ball and my anxiety/fear rose up and overwhelmed me....
My next match was someone I never heard of and I put a few 3 packs together to end up winning 11-6...
Next was Robb Saez.... He beat me 11-6 and the fear/anxiety was unbearable I had enough chances to have beaten him but I couldn't get out of my own head....
I have been trying to decide why it only happens if I know who they are but maybe I just give up on that idea and adopt your mantra......
blah blah

When I miss shape badly, I STILL hear my teacher's incredulous voice asking, "Where in the hell are you going?!?"
