Hi Alois

I am currently playing in division 2 and I have developed most of the strokes, yet I only win 41 percent of my games; losing to people who I shouldn't be losing to. I feel that is is due to inexperience as I am only 16, so how can i improve my game psychologically?

Thanks

Hi Sam,

This will come with time.  The killer instinct is something that you can develop if you ahve some goals you are aiming towards.

Focus on getting your techniques correct and you can think about your strategies as this develops.

The game is not won by good technique alone but if you develop good technique then your potential level becomes higher.
