vilemaybe you're not as good as you think you are. watch your demos. there's always something to improve.
I don't think I'm good, I don't have a huge ego, if you will. Are you saying that maybe I expect too much from me?
WithADanceNumberpro's don't keep consistency. Yes, the gap between a good day and a bad day gets smaller over time. However everyone has bad days. 'Pros' will adapt their play-style and mindset to match how they are playing on a certain day. If you are having a bad day then you need to focus on what you can do to play smarter.
So, in a few words, I need to adapt my play style and mindset to how I'm playing, instead of doing the other way around? If that makes any sense.
DevonI've thought a lot about this "consistency thing", things that help me stay consistent are:
I try to not play TOO much, but also not too little.
I also believe "off days" are 100% mental errors, so finding out what makes you have off days and possibly correcting that will relieve you of the problem.
A big thing is focus. Don't underestimate it. This may sound silly/go without saying but always try your best when playing and be 100% aware of everything around you. For me at least how I warm up will result in how well I preform in matches/scrims that day.
Another thing to add would be keeping your cool while playing, if I'm frustrated with my performance knowing I can play better than I am, always saying to myself "wow I should have hit that shot". Obviously doing this won't help. Try to just play, don't over think anything. From my exp it'll just result in frustration.
My 2 cents.
I usually don't play that much, and i do agree that playing a lot may cause off days, as you called them.
So according to you, I could check for a pattern in my off days and maybe see where the problem is coming from? That does makes sense.
Also thanks for the other tips, appreciated.
Saltysally1Don't play too much in my experience playing all the time seems to reinforce bad habits.
As I said, I usually don't.
kirbyPlaying consistently makes you play consistently.
ya dig?
I dig, but how do you keep consistency in your consistency?
Thanks for the comments so far.
