3. Don’t Beat Up on Yourself You know you’re in trouble when you start yelling at yourself like you’d yell at a dog that bit your leg. Don’t do it. You already have one opponent on the court trying to beat you. If you gang up on yourself there will be two people on the court trying to beat you. So don’t pound on yourself. I still do it too often and it doesn’t work. It’s a bad habit and it hurts my cause. “I’m the worst. I really stink up the place. Moron!” Those are typical of my complaints on a bad day.
