^^ it's possible (I hope) that they'll show it on TTC at 8:30 pm (EST) as it says it's a QF on tape delay (would make sense for it to be Marat's) *crosses fingers*

Lee, ranked No. 42, won the final four games against Safin, who double-faulted on match point.
"I lost the opportunity to go up two breaks," Safin said. "I went for it but I missed by a little. Then he broke me out of nowhere and things got complicated. He got more aggressive and I was more passive."Och Big Yin! Passive?  Why? You should have thumped him into the ground for those last couple of games! PS Couldn't help but notice the shoulder slumping routine appearing in the photos. Give it a rest and straighten up. If the shot was crap, it's too late to do anything about it other than play a better shot next time. We expect the positivity back again for the next tournament.

Tried and tested sports psychology. ;D Sidebar TechniqueThe SportSuccess(tm) system was created by patterning top performing athletes in many sports. The system allows athletes to systematically create repeatable competitive mindsets which enhance their abilities to succeed. Here is a basic exercise which you can use to prepare the ground for creating strong self-efficacy beliefs. Efficacy Search1. Think through the experiences of your life, both sporting and otherwise, and find as many experiences as you can where: • You performed well at any task • You were praised for a task • You persisted in the face of obstacles or difficulties • You gave 110% to some endeavour • Any activity that you performed that would be worthy of praise if you noticed it happening in someone else. We are interested in quantity of positive experiences first, then size or "grandness" of experience. It doesn't matter how small or apparently trivial the experiences are to start – as long as you start somewhere. 2. Write them ALL down in a list and add to the list as you recall more experiences. 3. You are now going to make a movie of all of these experiences – a documentary where you are the director. Arrange all of the experiences into a single movie. 4. Watch that movie in your mind from beginning to end several times. On the basis of what you have seen in the movie, what can you truthfully say about the person in that movie? e.g. "They really stick with it even when things aren't going well." "He's got a tremendous amount of focus and concentration on what he wants." "She's got great dedication to learning and improving." 5. Now take that movie and this time go through it as if you are experiencing the events in the movie as you experienced them when they happened. But this time the events happen in the order of the movie rather than the way they happened in life. It's as if you are the actor in the movie and you see everything from that main character's perspective. Run through the movie to the end, and when you've finished say to yourself the phrase or expression that you said from #4 but say it as an "I" statement. e.g. "I really stick with it even when things aren't going well." etc. By paying attention to and choosing to dwell upon as many positive reference experiences from your personal life and sporting activities as you can, you begin to build a foundation for strong self-efficacy beliefs which will serve you in your sporting activities. Big Yin, get your movie made before the US Open starts. Remember, you've won Grand Slams for a reason. Think the AO was a 110% clip. ;D |
