Following on from my 'Dealing with those Bad days ' thread
Well yesterday i had one of those days where it seemed like i couldn't put a foot wrong /ccboard/images/graemlins/cool.gif
I practiced then went to my local pool hall and had some scratch matches. I did some totally amazing break and runs, well out of my normal capability. I was confident, stroking subconsciously and reading the racks well
Now the first thing i have done today (before i go home to play) is to ensure my expectations haven't increased unrealistically . I know this was just one of those days, i know i won't perform like that all the time, i know i'm not instantly a better player overnight.
I've seen (not necessarily just in Pool) people living by their best performance. "If i played today like i played that night 3 months ago, i would have kicked your ar*se" etc etc
I won't let this happen to me /ccboard/images/graemlins/smile.gif
