So, my league team is going to the finals for the first time in the 5 seasons we've played together. We've always come close but we've finally made it. We seem to get a bad case of the nerves as we progress through the tournament at the end of the two regular halves. We did not play well last Tuesday but managed to pull off a narrow victory. People were too uptight trying to make sure that we won since we were so close. I gather we'll have the same problem tomorrow when we clash heads with the other top team in the league. Anyone have any suggestions on how to keep people on our team calm so we all play well. We all need to play well in order to win. That's for sure.
 
When I get nervous, have tension or can't sleep, I get a paper and write down all the things going through my head. My to-do list, shopping, kids, bills, whatever. Once I have everything down it clears my mind to concentrate on just one thing (pool). :)
See if your team is open to do this simple exercise. Good luck to you guys.:cool:
 
Just an update: We are the 2008 Summer League Champions. :D
I couldn't have possibly played better and my team definitely played well. It was a close match but we pulled it out and were numero uno this season. :thumbup:
