Big tourney today
« on: March 12, 2005, 02:54:03 AM »
Hello. I have a big local tourney today and really think I have a chance to win, the problem is I have a small case of the jitters. Can some one please help me with this. Thanks.

Be patient, don't rush, watch the ball reaction. don't wait too long for adjustments .. remember to HAVE FUN .. you'll be ok. Let us know how you do! Getting nervous before something like this is NOT UNUSUAL! Do your best and you'll be satisfied with yourself!

Generally when I get nervous I take a moment to look at the lane and pins and make sure I'm in position then look down for a moment and take a HUGE breath and then start my approach and look up during it.

For me it works cause I get a sense of where I am, then when I look down and breath the deep breath obviously has its calming effect, but looking down shrinks the building to just me and the floor and gives me a momentary calm and by the time I look up I'm starting my approach so I dont have time to worry
