how do you stay focused during a tournament ?
i have played in 3 tournaments in the last 3 weeks trying to qualify for our 9 ball regional singles. i came in 2nd in all 3. i just cant seem to stay focused during the end of the tournament.
i have been playing very good in league this session but find it hard to play at that level for an entire day.
i am in 1st place in top gun with my nearest competitor 10 points behind. i placed 1st in top gun last session and am just 4 points shy of my point total last session with 5 weeks to go. that tells me i am playing better than i have in quite a while.
here is 1 thing that i feel gives me a disadvantage trying to qualify. the 9 ball tournament follows an 8 ball tournament where i have already qualified . some of the players are playing in both so after they play 8 ball they are already in stroke while i have been sitting there waiting for that tournament to end so i can play 9 ball.
i warm up on another table during the last 8 ball match so i am ready to play.
i start out good but just cant stay at that level after 4 or 5 hours.
any advice you have would be greatly appreciated.
