Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 чер 2022
- There's nothing worse than that sickening feeling of suddenly getting tense right before you shoot. All of a sudden you're missing shots you perform blindfolded any other day. Nothing works, no matter how hard you try.
It's time to put an end to choking; here's how.

As always, some good stuff here. I'm a big believer in the the Zen Method of pool. I do my best to prepare myself for a match, meditation, breathing, mental review of past success. While playing and thinking about a shot, I breath, I visualize the shot.
If you know that you are coming up soon, talk a walk away from everyone. Sit for a moment and prepare yourself with these things. Just before I go back into the area, I do some basic stretches, legs, arms, back. I would not call it yoga as I don't know that, but just stretch, do some 45 degree push ups off a wall, some leg bends with force into the wall with hands braced. This gets that oxygen from your breathing flowing through your body. Ignore yourself, ignore others, concentrate on that rectangle, that moment to come.
You know not the shots you will be presented with, but you have worked hard to get to this point. Flow from that, let the game flow through you.
One other thing: use your drive time to free your mind from all the baggage your day has brought you...work...home...irritations we all face. Concentrate on all that for a few moments and when you park your car, have all those thoughts gathered in your mind. Picture yourself locking those in the car, walk away. Lock the doors. Those problems will be waiting for you when you unlock it. Leave them there.
Your World becomes the table, you become one with that world....
This should be way more popular!! Great information
Thank you, really needed to hear this 🤘😤
I have developed a system similar to CJ Wiley's TOI. My system is TSI- Touch of Screw It. I apply this before every shot. I could be shooting a hard shot when Im supposed to play safe, or be trying some ridiculously hard shot or position play, simply because I want to try it. Therefore I have jettisoned all concern for proper play. I simply tell myself "screw it" and fire mindlessly at whatever I want and don't give a crap about the results. It's very liberating. Apply a Touch of Screw It and see if it doesn't help your game. I do however recommend that you abstain from gambling whilst using my TSI system.
You should look up the P.I.I.T.H. aiming video. It's a good laugh born out of an aiming system argument.
I agree. Sometimes when I'm playing exceptionally well, my opponents will comment on how well I'm playing, and my usual response is, "Well, it's easy when you just don't give a fuck." Lots of times this happens when I haven't played for awhile and I'm just playing for the enjoyment of the game. It's when I start thinking about what I'm doing that my game starts falling apart.
@@bushputz yup. the harder I try the worse I play. When I let go and free wheel is when I play my best.
Older video but I just found it. Well said sir.
Great advice and information Dana. Far too many people struggle with getting beyond the funk or the suck. Enjoyed your insights & Jean Claude flashes!! ;-) Thanks for another great video sir!!
That was a really good Insider! Thanks
I do like the series, thanks Dana.
I'll try and remember this vid next time this happens to me, cheers bud 👊
I love the intro.
I believe there was someone eating popcorn!
Great stuff. How long have you been helping Darren out? Do you give lessons to others?
I've talked to a lot of people about changing their approach to the mental game for 25 years now and I enjoy seeing people grow from it.
While I do give in-person lessons, I'm giving all of these tips away for free. Stay tuned to the channel as more will be coming out.

Can you comment on this please? I love this site.
So, here is my problem. I get so nervous in certain situations I just cannot keep my emotions from sending me into freefall. There are times when I am better than others. For example: In last league action I played three players whose skill levels is quite a bit better than mine. I played my best pool against them and won in great style. This is a handicapped league and The first was spotting me 3 games. I shut him out 3-0. The second was a better player than me in a 7-4 race where I was the 4. In the third I played against a player who I had never beat and was calm through the match to the point where I knew I was going to win and I did.
Then on the other side of the coin when I am playing against a weaker player an probably have to spot games I just go to pieces. Especially if I lose the first game in a 5-3 race or something similar. I start second guessing everything; Should I play safe, should I take a risky shot. You get the drift.
I am working on some good sites I found on youtube on how to improve the mental game but I am telling you this is killing me.
Any comments or suggests are definately appreciated.

I recently made a video about this exact thing.

Hope that helps.
I have been suffering from yips for last 9 years. Tried many things but nothing helping. Can you suggest something please?
First thing to discover would be what it is exactly you're concerned about. Winning or losing a game in any sport should not be a life or death experience (unless it's combat sports).
So: #1 - Figure out why you're brain is inducing a state of panic.
#2 - Ask yourself if that fear is rational or not.
#3 - If it is not rational, then use the methods outlined in my playlist to find many different ways to try to mitigate that fear response.
#4 - Use a distraction strategy like concentrating on the mundane to keep your subconscious busy.
#5 - Be patient with yourself as you learn a new talent like mental training. It will take time.
he ripped the cloth. wow
Why do you use British pool balls on an american table instead of American pool balls?
They show up better on camera. They are regulation sized, 2.25" not the English 2" balls.
@4:51 was that intentional?
Nope, terrible day of practice, I was choking on every shot.
@@ThePracticeRoomPool 💯
@ThePracticeRoomPool i just had a practice like this yesterday. 620 fargo level player and i missed over a dozen shots that were hanging that deep 🙃
Dogged a 2pack, and then dogged 6 break and runs later. 3 at a stop shot 8 ball to get on the 9 straight in
the thumbnail is a little extreme no?😂
😂
Eh man either you have it or you don’t
some might choke worse than others but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try to work on it
