Mental technique

If you do to much and forget balance
this is what happens but....


if you do it right then...

that´s what´s going to happen:  you play more naturally (and win chance goes up)
 how to fight pressure during games


I think all people now about the  first breath in, close your eyes and slowly breath out  technique for trying to relax during tests or go games,
but just how many people are able to deal with their pressure this way ?

In this case for me it doesn´t really help as i am as nervous as before and even start thinking more and more about it while trying to clear my thoughts.

So i searched a year ago tor becoming better at tournaments on how to deal with pressure or nervosity during games.

The technique i found is one they use often in Tennis games.

As i said sometime ago Tennis is a sport which puts a big deal of mental pressure on the player, so this can be applied to go players as well i think.

For me at least it worked and is one good technique to deal with pressure and there are for sure more (i will search for more  of course)

The technique is rather simple:

First close your eyes (and no it´s not the technique above^^) and then try to imagine a page. Now it becomes difficult, try to imagine all the pressure points in a summary on the page.
And now the most important part you have to imagine it how it gets erased around 60-80 percent.

It depends on each person which is the best balance, but a a bit of pressure can be good to stimulate the senses during a game, so not fully erasing it is important. If there is enough time during the game, do it many times around 5-6 times at least .

I can only say it works in my case and for Tennis players it seems to work as well.

I hope it can help

last but not least a picture which says it as well and looks cool on top of it
