I guess I think I'm better than I really am...
« on: March 04, 2004, 03:00:21 AM »
I don't know why, but for some reason I think I'm good.  I don't know.

Anyways, I've noticed something "odd".  I am very good at splits/washouts, but bad at normal spares.  I suppose it's because that I think I'm better than I really am, so I actually concentrate on the splits.  Now if only I could keep that mentality for every shot...I'd average over 200.  I noticed that when I actually try, I can shoot at any spot I need to...but unfortunately, I only do this 40% of the time, the other times I just miss by a couple boards....I need to find some way to keep my split mentality....

Don't ask why I posted this.  I guess I just felt like it, since it's not really a comment.  Oh well, I guess I just think that you all should know everything about me...

Haha, don't call me moo.  That's my sig, you know, like a cow, "MOO!"...

The thing is, I know that I'm not as good as I make myself out to be, which is why my goal for the next few sessions: to treat all my shots as if they were splits.  

But I'd rather be a *little* cocky, then depressed, because then I would suck and it'd become a viscious cycle.

And since I'm kind of full of myself, I'm sure you'll all know if it pays off.

I have the desire and confidence (obviously), but I just can't get the improvement.  Well, hopefully my atrocious scores today will help me get on track...

I have become a bit more humble after my scores today....I guess I'm just trying to do too much for my experience, I'll have to take things slowly.
