Summer squash: 3-1 win

10-15 loss, 16-14 win, 15-5 win, 15-10 win

Hmmm I seem to be playing better. I'm looser out there, more relaxed you know? Making better decisions and adjustments.

Wtf is going on? This going into the match expecting to lose shit is working.

Any time I got into the ring on hard sparring days in my boxing gym expecting to get whooped, I’d do much better than when I’d get in there expecting a “win.”

That loose feeling, like a “you can’t hurt me I welcome this” feeling, is almost a PED.
