When you are competing, you do have control over what you do; when you are watching, you have NO control whatsoever! THAT is the problem... Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Speedway28 171 Posted October 6, 2018 Congratulations to Tai! Fully deserved title, Bartosz pushed him close but Tai put in a fantastic year. Wonderful to see Tai dedicate the title to two special people in his life. I don't care what anyone says, Tai has grown up massively in the last two years and I thoroughly hope he defends his title next year. A true privilege to watch him win the first GP in Warsaw and I hope next year is even better. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chunky 6,094 Posted October 6, 2018 That is true, and the important thing is that if somebody hasn't been in these situations, it is impossible to know what the participants go through. The problem is that you can't really stop things like negative thoughts or adrenaline rushes from happening; all you can learn to do is to deal with them and handle them the best you can. The more you find yourself in those situations, the better you can handle them. That is what I think Zmarzlik's downfall tonight stems from. Regarding the "watching", I hope you will appreciate my comments here. My dad was one of the top players in the 70's, and I know what I went through watching him. He didn't get it, until he started watching me in major tournaments! Steve 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
