The game starts, you are a favorite and the opponent is an underdog, he has nothing to lose. He gives the game of his life to prove to himself that he can beat you. You start the game not bad, but then the pressure increases and you start to miss. Now there are two options; Downshift and play carefully or step up even though it's not going your way? If you drop a gear, you are no longer a favorite, because at that moment you have compared your level to the level of your opponent and the chance that you will win drops to 50% or maybe less. On the other hand, if you increase, you risk and may lose the game. so what are we doing? Downshift for a short period of time and even then to 70% power and no less than that. Restore confidence and then return to 120% to stun the opponent. You might lose the game, but at least you practiced an important tactic that will become more and more effective the more you practice it.

During today's crucial match, he experienced an anxiety attack, leaving him unable to function at a basic level. After the game, I asked him what caused it. I wondered if it was the chance for first points, the debut in international competition, the opponent, or the expectations from family and the coach. Each time, he answered "No." So, I asked another question: "If it were a player from the club you always beat, would you be as stressed?" "Of course not," he replied. I explained that the stress likely came from reading too much about the opponent before the game, which added unnecessary pressure. I suggested he stop this habit, as it won't change the opponent's abilities but could negatively impact his own performance. To illustrate, I shared my own experience of feeling stressed over a minor injury after reading about a severe condition online. In this session, I will teach you how to focus on yourself and trust your own capabilities, regardless of the opponent's abilities.
