My weekend wins
Scored my 1st league ton on Saturday. Very happy with the result. But more happy with how I went about it and how actually imperfect I felt pre and during.
Pre game / day before my prep was very average. Walking around London, abit of a later night on a phone call then travelling home but controlled what I could by eating a good meal, travelling home to my bed and going straight to sleep.
This proves to me further that there’s no right or optimal way to get the result i want. There just is. Of course there’s things i can do to improve my chances of success. But then for me it’s about letting go, which I did to the best of my ability.
Pre game for me was normal. I noticed self 1 a couple of times, then actually verbally saying it out loud. We enjoyed a live turf net session which was out of the ordinary because I didn’t hit at all in the week. This is good lesson for me for a couple of reasons.
- Hitting in the week doesn’t ultimately care about my score on the weekend. It may give me confidence when I’m out there, but I know how to bat.
- Going against something I wouldn’t normally do, I try to be psychologically adaptable and can change my routine if I feel necessary.
I felt in slightly poor rhythm up until I was at 50. But managed my emotions and self 1 well not giving a fuck if I made a mistake and then focusing to the next ball. As the great philosopher Alfie Hunter says - “there is no good or bad”. I stuck around, gave myself a chance, still looking to score, but gave myself a chance to bat time.
When I was on around 60, fuck I felt like I loved batting. I let go of my anchored phrase and just watched the ball. I think there’s something in that.
My goal was to bat time, which I did well, and when I got to 100 I gave myself permission to fully express my game, going up the gears to great affect.
I’m now even more motivated to finish the last 4 games well, hoping to help my team win. I won’t chase it / look for it to much, but i have a strong desire to go well
