Great shot!(in a very sarcastic tone) helps me come with an inspirational recovery
Like: "Shoot hard and sleep in the street." Less effective since fewer players are playing for their room rent these days.How 'bout, "Don't dog it nit or your walkin home". Pretty inspirational don't you think???
I’m of the opinion that the conscious mind doesn’t belong anywhere near a pool or billiard table if you truly desire to play to your full potential. The problem with things such as these little phrases, and the ever popular practice of “positive self talk” preached by many, is these practices utilize that little voice in your head.

I only have one phrase that reoccurs: it often pops into me head when I'm playing a champion and am faced with a tough shot or the option to play safe and a voice pipes up in the back o’ me mind and asks: "Are we men... or are we mice?"

I've always taught this ''when your down your done''.
When you miss your bassline of body movement/approach is always the same. To correct your miss all you have to do is.... walk up a little more left or right.
