Duplicating the shot

After Monday night I had that shot on my mind until Tuesday night. When I got to work the first thing I did was take the cover off the table. I was determined to justify my initial decision on what I wanted to do. This is not a world shaking event, far from it. But there is a principal involved here that I feel will nullify the captain's choice and verify mine. I have already posted some of my feelings on the forum, and I received some positive feedback. And that is a good sign. It means there are others who are on the same page.

Anyway, I got on the table and set up the shot the same as it was in the match. I shot it about 30 times from all different positions just to see how the balls would play. The position I was going to play was right. I tried it 3 times with good result. The importanr thing here is the lesson learned. I will never forget this setup, or even some shots similiar, and I will know how to play them. I will now talk to the captain and ask him never to call a time out on me again. If I neeed advice I will call the time out. By doing so I will still maintain my focus on what I'm doing. There was one bright spot in the situation. The woman who won was all smiles and happy as can be. I do not think she expected to win because I had beaten her 2 times already. For me, as I mentioned, leason learned.

As Bogard once said, "play it again Sam".
