hiya all,
i'll write first my personal experience, and i'd like to see how others relate to it, if they have the same experience, others etc?
first of all, ive started playing recreational pool the first times, whenever i had a bad day. Gf who broke up, bad day at school, personal problems, etc. It seemed to be the best thing for me to work away my anger/hate/sadness. I was mostly a ballbanger back then , as banging balls, even if its not professional, we must admit, sometimes i just feels GOOD to SMACK a ball in that pocket, hear the magic SNAP when it hits the back of the pocket. It really helped me work away all the anger and hate i had in me. After some years, i also went to play pool when i was sad. I was starting to be play better, and the combination of SMACKING a ball in a pocket to get away the initial anger, and then try to clean a table slowly and controled made me help to control my anger too. i always felt greath after playing pool for a hour. I also always played alone. Just me and the table. something notable was that i seemed to play very good when i was angry or sad.
now i posted 2 days ago, i had a very bad tournament, and some consitency lapses, and today i got bad news i didnt get the dream job i wanted. i had some very positive intervieuws, and i was close on having it, but for some weird reason i didnt get it. Putting me back into financial problems, having to ask my parents to loan me money (i always HATE to do that, but only solution for me) and well i just had a very bad week. MY gf suggested me to go to the poolhall, and she would pay for it and id pay her back later. So i went, and like usual, when im angry/ sad i found my game back again.
last week i couldnt clear a 9ball rack in less then 4 innings, and yesterday i played the ghost in 8ball for 2 hours, and i won. only racks i didnt clean from the breake where those where the rack wasnt tight (they have crappy triangles and balls and tables in my karaoke barr) and there where just TO much clusters to be able to run out. But when i had only none, one or two small clusters, i run out everytime exactly how i wanted, without any big effort.
now i was wondering, if many people started playing pool to control there anger, instead of going into a barr, getting drunk and starting barr fights. what are your experiences of how pool helped u in your life. angermanagment? selfasteem? being less shy? lasyness? competivity? etc...
for me when i play pool for recreation, (no competition or training) its 90% of the time to manage my anger by smacking, and once anger is away, the slowly controlable table clearence, help me regainc focus in my life and get back on the track.
