In fact, I think the emotional aspect of the game can be one of the main roadblocks to being a consistently winning player. Sure it's easy to stand there and tell yourself that a comment doesn't and isn't going to bother you, but in most cases the emotional seed has already been planted. Certain people and certain things said are easier to dismiss and maintain your dignity, but then there are certain people or comments that strike a personal nerve and the reaction happens so quickly, that it is almost impossible to reel back in. With hindsight, I always regret allowing another player to effect me emotionally. I am working on being more like Lisa #1, who instead turns the emotions into a power to overcome her opponent rather than allowing it to overcome her.BeckyJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00737294890275885881noreply@blogger.com
