mental toughness... you must be able to (if necessary)physically hurt your opponent. When they hit a bad lob and u have the chance to peg them do u... or do u hit to the open court... I peg them...be competitive but with good spirit...never outclass anyone that u dont have too...

Ok, everyone has their reasons for doing things, but I think I know this one.  You came on strong.  If you are very open with it, there is no challenge to him.  If you put all your cards on the table, where's the fun in that?  I think he's doing what he is doing to keep you guessing, which as much as you might not like to admit, you find yourself playing the game because it still intrigues you.  He's playing a game to make it interesting.  You want him to get some interest?  Play the same game with him.  It'll get his curiosity about you going.

I am not a very good golfer but when I do actually play good, in my terms, is when I am thinking about the next shot I have to make, not the slice I just hit. I tell my pitchers this: go pitch for pitch, forget about the one you just threw because this next one is more important than the last.\n\nSame thing in golf, if you miss the fairway off the tee, you have to make the next shot better than the last or else it just snow balls. You are only as good as that next shot you make. If all your shots are good then you will see the results in the end and the frustration won't be there. Shot for shot, forget about what just happened, the current shot is more important.

at this point, all you can really do is play and play and play. get out onto the court and play as much as possible. have somebody who can feed balls just feed you for a while and even though it will be very boring and you will probably hate it, you will get tons better. play lots of matches with other people around your level, if not better. if you lose to somebody, take notes and try to use that to your advantage and keep playing them until you win. then after that, start playing better and better people. good luck.

I started playing a little bit around fifth grade, but this year I'm taking the class in high school and I'm on the school team. It's really fun and rewarding... Ever since I started playing more this year, I've gotten a lot more excercise and made a lot more friends! I especially like how it's not a contact sport. And you can play singles or doubles. I like doubles, but only if I like my doubles partner :)

Well you should definitely practice a lot. You also might want to start playing on a summer team. I play defense and I joined a summer team and I feel like I am improving

Sure, it is a good way to meet new friends. Not many people go pro, so just enjoy the game and it is good for your health as well. Do I enjoy it? Baby, I am THE BOOT..go figure.

It depends on how much you practice, and how much you want to improve.\n\nprimarily have fun though! it will come easier if youre relaxed about it.

hm.. 4 me, i will make myself ambitious.. i like winning and who doesn't.. u will be afraid as soon as you enter the pitch.. but as times goes by, if you manage to make yourself busy,have this attitude of winning the game and have fun with the game.. sure it will workout.. once i have read this magazine called 'FourFourTwo'.there was a page written by the ex-england manager sir bobby robson(my fave coach).he was talking about the english players before the big match against brazil in world cup 94'(or 90'! cant remember). almost all the starting 11 were to worried about the match.so big names do feel worried too eh! he also praise too much on luiz ronaldo,brazillian striker when he coaches barcelona saying that he is different than the other players because he is a player who can't wait to get in the match and play,with the winning attitude and loves challange.i think this attitude help him score 35 goal in la liga.. anyway, we play soccer because we enjoy it,not for fear!

And these same people think golf and chess is easy to master. We all have our preferences, so don't let them get to you. Enjoy what you are doing and continue to do your best. You can't please everyone.

I really think u shouldn't be so hard on yourself,you win some and you lose some haven't you heard that saying!I'm pretty sure that tyson,ali and all of them have been down before,sometimes things like this are going to happen but it's what you do after the storm...do you keep fighting to become the best? Or do you back out and quit forever?so what if it was the begining of the first round!fight him again,and again or someone eles untill they get the goddam point!!I know it feels bad to lose but you shouldn't throw away something thats given you so many opportunites,don't be afraid to go back into that gym,even if you know the people there saw what happened "who cares"everyone goes through that sometimes,but like i said its what you do after the storm.good luck

I don't play slow pitch I play fast pitch but to me it sounds like your problem was all mental. There are three different mental zones that you can be in, red, green, and yellow. Green  is where you are completely focused on what you need to do. Yellow is where you are starting to let things bother you. Red is where you are completely unfocused. In sports you need to keep in the green zone. Some times you miss the ball or the umpire makes a bad call and you can go into a red zone. That is why you need to form some kind of recovery. It can be as simple as just taking a deep breath and saying you can do this. You need to practice this recovery before you need to use it even if it seems stupid, it really does work. It is also good if you make an error in the field. My suggestion is don't get down on yourself. It just makes things worse. Try to stay positive and keep playing!

sometims coaches are just assholes and only let thier favorites play, so if your not sucking him off then your not going to play.... but just try your hardest in practice and hustle all the time after loose balls, dive, dont be afraid to get scrapped up, and do the same with the little amount of playing time you may recive. and maybe if you show the coach your dedicated you might see yourself getting more time.

Well it all depends, sometimes I want it now so I just forget everything and go for it !  Other times I play hard to get, it all depends on the mood im in that day.  Sometimes I want it soft n romantic other days I want it hard n rough...its all about how my mood is that day.
