Ahts, let me share some experiences thats very useful to me til now but Im not that "coach":
After disecting the whole thing and determined what to work on (as you do now), I proceed to work on it as hard as I can. When preparing to practice and during practice, I forget the personality involved and the match situation that went w/ it. I dont even practice w/ an upcomming match in my mind. I can focus better on what Im practicing if those things are out of my mind. If an upcoming match is in my mind during practice, I stop and go home. I know I wont absorb or learn what Im practicing w/ that distraction.
In speed and accuracy, I treat them as one. I know they work in contrast w/ each other. But my job is to find a mix of them that will work to my goal. The sooner I treat them as one the earlier I will find that mix. To others, its speed vs accuracy. To me its speed
and accuracy. One is useless without the other. In TGO's words:
if you are too slow, it will not matter how accurate you are. Which is which in what situation? Now its your job to find that mix:supergrin:
When in a match, I dont shoot w/ my match ranking in mind (not because Im a hopeless case:supergrin
. Nor how I will compare w/
that shooter. Nor how I will fare w/ my peers' expectations of me. Nor how I will shoot to my own expectations. Sometimes I succumb to these. but 80% of the time I dont. I just focus on what I need to do at that time. I only use these inputs in studying past performances, again as you do now. But it should stop there, no more no less. Some may find this hard to believe or do. But after reading a lot about this phenom, I've thrown away lots of matches in the past from lev 1s to 3s in search for it. Ive gone thru lots and lots of experimenations w/ it and myself. And in the process, I learned a lot how me and my mind works. Once I found it, it was never difficult or complicated to do and never scaped me since. I am able to shoot in the match as I shoot in practice most of the time, so I enjoy the match more. It also removes a lot of match pressure in me. In fact its so simple that I wondered how it scaped me for so long. Just like
calling every shot
