Reality

I really am a D class player!You see the difference in what class you are Pro,A,B,C,D,in that order is not only knowledge of the game,it's your consistency in the game.Consistency is what separates the classes!An A class player is very consistent,where a D class player really has no consistency too his game.A D player usually doesn't have enough consistency too his game to even get out regularly.He's generally not going too run more than 3-4 balls before getting out of line and leaving himself tough.This is where I feel I am,I'm running some balls and then either getting so far out of line,I leave myself super tough and are forced to play safe or I miss the easy shot! The knowledge is a whole other factor in your rating,I feel you can play at a high level with less knowledge than many players,the key too that is the consistency.Of course a player with a ton of knowledge of the game has an advantage but the player with the most consistency may get out more often.I have a lot of knowledge of the game,I'm just not capable of executing it on a consistent basis just yet!

I have too work on my concentration and focus,to increase my consistency! I feel that's the big thing missing from my game.I put a lot of pressure on myself,probably unnecessary pressure.I know it's unnecessary! I feel I should be playing at a higher level than I am right now,but I need to remember that I've only been playing again 2 months!That's where all the un-wanted pressure comes from!I have too say that again,"I've been playing 2 months"I need patience!You have to put so much time into this game,it's ridiculous.But it's very rewarding.Nothing is going too happen overnight for me,I just need to relax and it will come if I can keep going along the way I am. I've had a couple of bad days this week,and man did it really have a negative effect on me yesterday.I was playing and thinking about quitting at the same time!You don't have a chance in hell of playing good when you think like that.It amazes me how thought patterns like that can creep into you.I'm not quitting,I'm just getting started and that's what I need to remember!

It's only been since March,so I really only have 2 months in. My last 2 sessions did not go my way,but that should be OK with me because they both where against players I'm really not supposed to beat!They where tough matches for me from the start.I keep saying I want the tough matches,and I do.I just think I need to adjust the way I handle the loses.I should be remembering that I'm not supposed to win.I'm not really supposed to beat anyone right now!And I'm getting a chance at some of the sets,so that should be satisfying enough.But it's not,I want too win now.During league night I've done well so far,winning both my matches.It's the day sessions where I've had my problems!The day time games are all tough in here.Some are even tough A class games!The reality is I'm a D class player going too an A.
