Today im gonna share another problem i have. I think i put pressure on myself several days before a tournament. Then when i arrive and the match starts i choke a bit. Dont follow through my shots, miss, have a much lower % than in my practice. This gets me so disappointed and sad. Leaving the tournament with a bad feeling. How shuld i lower my expectations before tournaments? I want to play good soooo bad that i cant play good 😊. Silly! I try to tell myself ”its only a game” but i carr to much.

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 😥

In my first full year of pétanque I played with a lot of different teams (13). As I wasn’t an established player with a set team, I became a pétanque nomad, different team every competition. Some were a great laugh , some very negative, other were indecisive, and some were constructive. This year I have been approached and asked to join 4 different teams. How do you go about selecting the team you’ll play with for the year? How do you guys decide who to play with?
