His hand would hesitate and shake instead of smoothly release the dart and he could barely hit the board. That’s how I began to feel. Here is the time when Lanny Bassham<\/a> would tell me to stop, otherwise I would be practicing losing. Conversely, if I had been practicing and hitting good serve after good serve, he would tell me to keep practicing the serve even it that is not what I planned to do that day.

\nSolutions Analysis<\/em>:
\n1. Looking for a solution to the problem of losing my service stroke<\/a> during a match (sound familiar?).
\n2. Looking for a solution to the problem of cursing after making a mistake. What is up with that?
\nSuccess Analysis<\/em>:
\n1. I won both sets, that should count for something.
\n2. I served<\/a> an ace and some service<\/a> winners.
\n3. After 4 weeks of bloodshot eyes from serving while looking into the sun, I figured out that it might help to wear sunglasses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
