The Rattlesnake Analogy

[rackmsuckr]

I'm not saying that it is wrong, I am just pointing out where it is detrimental and unrealistic to expect yourself to perform to perfection. High standards are good to have, but unrealistic, unachievable standards will lead anyone to frustration quicker than they will lead them to improvement.

This excerpt is actually part of a study, which comes complete with questions and workbook assignments. If there is a measureable demand for this study I can provide the lessons in this forum with one lesson per week. I can also provide the study questions with the material.

BTW -I have discontinued my web site, but I will continue to post my material in the forums.

Hi Blackjack,

Great stuff! Thanks for all the insight. Please keep the studies coming; it's great of you to do this. I love to find out all I can on the mental aspects of pool and competition.

Why is gambling negative?..........I like your writing, but, if your trying to help players win tournaments it's the same as gambling. The only way to win a tournament is to put up your entry money, and if you play well, you get more money back which = gambling. Unless, you win and give the money to charity or something.....Gerry
