I think it's very interesting what goes through people's minds when
they see someone with high talent walk
into the pool room during a weekly tournament.
What are YOU thinking?
A girlfriend of mine and I were talking last weekend about this very topic.
She said it must be tough for local Pros to walk in to play in local tournaments because they have a target on their head.
I looked at her very curious because that's not the way I look at them. My thinking is completely opposite.
My thinking is more like, "shit, I hope I don't have to play them tonight." lol. I get nervous I might have to play them. Instead, she is of the mind set that she HOPES to play them so she can try to beat "de-throne" them.
I wonder why people have such different reactions and thinking when it comes to wanting to play better players?
Confidence? Mental toughness? Killer Instinct? Hmmm....
