Kevin Tang asked 2 years ago

Have you guys ever dealt with your form completely deteriorating during the tournament? I feel like a tree moving slow and I’m slow to react as well. Feels like I’ve gone down to beginner level even though in training I was playing really well.

I think we’ve all been there for sure Kevin! Often the pressure and wanting to win in games can cause this and players tighten up as you mentioned. It comes down to experience and being relaxed enough to play your normal game. Also a good warm up on and off the table at tournaments can help avoid this to, so you are really well warmed up and ready to go straight away!
