I am my own worst enemy.
Pool has taught me so many things about myself and all these things apply to every day life. I have a tendency to doubt myself when I'm down on a shot under pressure. It'll cause me to shift my stance and not trust my instinct. And that's just like everything else in life. No one knows what's best for you but you, and if you doubt yourself you'll never be where and who you want to be. So if I could change anything it would be my bad habit of doubting myself because I'm too worried about what everyone else is thinking. I wish I could block everything out. I know it would help me move forward in life and be a better pool player.

Love pool also. 90% of it is confidence as you well know. I thought I had a really good handle on my game being a 6 of 7 in league until I watched 2 old timers playing 9 ball for $100 a game. Saw 11 break and runs in a row and the opponent find bat an eye. A simple book on the break and the game became 17 to 11 just after midnight.$600 changed hands, a handshake and a catch you next time.
