Disaster!
On my way home from competition. Swedish Cup qualifier. Today i played embarrassingly bad. No heart raise or feeling nervous. Just was not there in my mind. But i found it hard to fokus, it was like my usual ritual och routine was gone. Must be some kind of stress anyway. Shuld have had coach @Kevin ORourke by my side . This is depressing 😥

Match Scenario Friday 😀
Lets go for a new match scenario, if you guys think its boring just say and ill stop 😊 Game: The Score is 11-11 Both Teams have 2boules left, its the shooter in the opponents team that got the 2 boules in hand. He/she have had i high hitRate in this game. The opponent have the closest boule, 60cm from jack and your team have the second at 100cm ftån jack. How do you play! A: Point 2 times and hope for a miss or hope he doesn’t hit a carreaue? B: Shoot the Jack, guessing his good hitRate is to hard to ignore. C: Shoot 2 times and let him have 1 point. Or maby you have a other solution? 😎 Happy Friday everyone!

I assume the distance is appr 8m. Also dependent where his boule are located, in front of jack or not, I assume the red is little longer then the jack. In that case I would Point against RED boule on the inside, and hope I will get so close it will interfere with his shoot,and then se what happens.

Still 8 m, but red is in front of jack . In this case I would probably shoot. If jack goes no problem .

I have a set of OBUT soft balls, have them at work and take some short breaks to stand up and do the release practise against a wall and also some pointing in the conference room. Softer and better grip than normal balls but good weight I think they are 73 / 690. I'm a beginner and need some softer wrists.

And I want to give the Winter to se if i can get the technique correct and then se if i have any skill.

Goals, show relevant and measureble gols to proof i get better. Of possible via SMART system I would like to have a goal for precedures and routine, but how to measure that and the result that ive got to be better? Pleasy show a playing ground the exercise and how to record it.

Another idea, how do Asians/Thailand have for process and explain all steps that sens so importens, have we missed anything. Or Can compete against them.again. They also seem to have,a LOT of tools and coaching, how high each method shall be, such shot eg to shoot 177 cm is optimal, a shot be and a high lob 5 m etc, and how create good handrelease and backspinn.
