What part of the game does your mental thoughts trump what you can actually do?
For me it is the backhand drive. I know I can throw the distance I want to throw yet each time I get to the tee to try I just totally tense up.
The first thing I think of is "don't screw this up" and of course that's what I do.
If I try to really rip the drive I have a nice long grip lock. If I try to compensate for that then I release to soon and it goes flying to the left. No two drives are ever the same!
Just seems like there is so much you have to remember to do a good backhand.
Step with your right foot first ,x step,pull the disc like a your starting a push mower,elbows towards the basket,right hip towards the basket,follow through....good Lord no wonder its such a pain in the a** to do.
My question is,have you ever had to deal with the mental aspect of this game and how did you conquer it and use it to your advantage.
As for me,I dread when a throw requires the BH.
