Chapter 3 - Articles On the Mental Game
- Tension: "It's that simple and that hard: Don't think of winning or losing. Simply think of
PLAYING"
- Far behind or in the lead? - Part 1: "Raise your shoulders, raise your head and step to the oche
in full confidence. Don't care about the standings in the match. Just look like a winner."
- Far behind or in the lead? - Part 2: "The solution is: expect the unexpected. Always remember
before a match that it can be easier than you might think."
- Visualising: " Close your eyes and see yourself standing in front of the oche. Try to imagine as
much detail as possible."
- A white moment: "It is said to occur at the point in a match in which the victor takes the game
from the loser. It isn't necessarily the game ending shot, but the shot that decides the outcome."
- Against the board or the opponent?: "It's one of those really big questions, most controversial
even amongst players of high standards, and there are practical and philosophical approaches to
it."
- A single problem: "...there is a lot of pressure on preparing singles, and many players fail
exactly here, while they hit doubles or trebles nicely. So how can one work against this?"
