Next Monday the new,or if you will,the spring session will begin. I am looking forward to it and the competition it creates. There is something about competition that brings out the gladiator mentality. There is a similarity in the mindset of those who put themselves on the line to win or lose. Obviously, it is a deep rooted state of mental preparedness that surfaces in the face of the enemy. This is a societal mentality at its best. Wining and losing is what drives mankind no matter what the agenda and where it is being carried out.
On a personal basis I am preparing for the competition. My practice sessions have increased to about 25 hrs a week, and I have also embraced about a dozen new drills.
You heard about one step forward and two back, that is proving itself in my practice
sessions. The obvious is the fact that when trying something new, one is making some changes to the regular routine. And as the practice progresses some of the changes will be embedded into the natural rhythm of ones game and others will be discarded as not comfortable in the greater scheme of things. Having set all these movements in motion, and practiced endlessly, one can only hope they survive the war on the table. Whether they do or not, one thing is paramount, others will replace them until the right formula is found and polished. Only time will tell.
