Remember our experiment from Part 1?
We had two equal groups of untrained wine drinkers and they all tasted a particular wine.
While one group wrote a description of the wine, the other group did a crossword.
Okay. I’m not saying you should have a few glasses before a game.
What I am saying is if you know what helps you be better at Wine Tasting – and why – you’ll know what sort of practice and training to do so you get the best results in a game.
Let’s look at an experiment to show you what we mean.[1]
We’ve all experienced it.
You’ve got a thundering and relentless forehand when you’re practising. But when you’re playing a real game, it disappears.
But what’s this? It comes back when you’re practising again.
What’s going on? And what can you do about it?
What can champions do that you can’t? Well, there’s probably plenty of things. But there’s one particular thing they do and you don’t – at least don’t do as often and as well.
It’s they get ‘in the zone’ or have a ‘flow experience’.
So would you like to get ‘in the zone’?
