I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it when people get angry when they are playing me. Love. It. Why? I've never lost to them. N.E.V.E.R. No kidding. Those of you out there that get pissed? Yeah... come my way. LOL Oh.. and those that show frustration? Come my way too. I love you guys! Sooooo easy to beat.
It's like I'm beating my head against a wall. Seriously... you almost can never win if you are outwardly showing anger, frustration and especially defeat. I shot this poor kid once that just all of a sudden got angry with himself.. I tested it.. took a crazy shot, made it... and sent him seriously over the edge. Mostly I just smile and sit back and enjoy the show, but that one concerned me - he got really mad. Hit a wall afterward I think. Bloody knuckles... I'm just connecting the dots. Exactly HOW many times do I have to tell you that you can not shoot well while showing so much emotion? Really, tell me. Lets get this over with so you will listen. How many times?
I know you've all heard it before. So why don't you listen? I know. List the things that you do WELL in when you're angry. Go ahead. Oh? Boxing? Mmmmm... don't think so, get angry and you'll drop your hands. What's that? MMA? Ahhhhh NO. Can you say ARM BAR?? Wait, I got one... COP, especially if you're a Troy, NY Cop living down the road from me... oh... did I say that out loud? Bet in the long run it won't work for him either.
So. Now that it's clear that showing emotion isn't good, can you tell me why I say 'showing' and not feeling? Any clue? Well... see, I'm pretty damn smart but not smart enough to figure out how to 'not feel'. But I do know the first step to 'not feeling'. Come on, 3 guesses.. and the first two don't count. Yep. Don't SHOW the emotion. If anger, frustration, defeat, and overall general pissyness don't have a way to express themselves... they will go away. These particular emotions need an outlet to survive. Lock it down. Trust me, it'll go away and shockingly enough you'll find yourself shooting again.
And there it is in a nut shell. Trust. Me. Hard for people to do. I know. But really what on earth do you have to lose? You already ARE losing. To me. And I'm laughing the whole time. No, but in all seriousness, find someone close to you and have them watch you. If they see the anger... try harder. This won't be fixed overnight. But it can be fixed. And do you know what? This will help in all areas of your life. Soon, you won't be flying off the handle and you'll be calm and running racks. Ok, maybe not racks, but you won't be losing to the likes of me anymore and that counts for something, right? Good luck.
