When I feel that a match is slipping away from me (or in danger of slipping away) I want to make changes, strategically, mentally, and physically. In order to do that I have to be observant. I have to ask, “Who’s doing what to whom?” If I can answer that correctly I’ll know where the adjustments in my game plan need to be made. First I ask myself: 1. Am I following my game plan? Then, if I am following my plan I ask: 2. What is my opponent doing to defeat my strategy?
