So true. With me it’s often not the outcome that stresses me out it’s the its the million, ‘how can I imagine it’s going to mess up’ thoughts that get to me.

I understand you well. Those self-doubts that come in the way and create images that don’t exist. It is so interesting that we are so easy in creating destructive rather than constructive images. There is no actual reason why we should prefer the destructive ones.

I agree, better don’t think than thinking negatively.

Erika, this is very telling. Quite often, getting into the head of your opponent can make a huge difference. Bobby Fischer was an unconventional chess player who so unnerved his skilled opponent Boris Spassky that he won his match. Keith

Influencing others with worries or insecurity… oh, yes, that can change “the game”. It is a kind of manipulation. However, we are good in manipulating ourselves by thinking bad about what we do. But what’s the use when we have to do it anyway, right?

Erika, true it does reek of manipulation, but to the larger point, here is a great anecdote. There was a very good baseball pitcher named John Smoltz who was known for pitching well in pressure packed playoff games. His response as to why was interesting. He said the key is try to relax and perform at the same level as you normally do. Under pressure, many players perform beneath their normal level, so it only appears Smoltz was elevating his performance. Keith

That makes a lot of sense. I always admire players who keep their nerves at base when it comes to real pressure in the end of a game. It does make THE big difference when the players of the opposing team can’t do that.
