About Winning & Losing in Pool

When we are playing pool our goal is all the time to win. But of course we won't win all the time. I know many players who really struggle with themselves after losing a match. They become really disappointed and have doubts about their game and themselves. But after they recovered - they do the same mistakes again and lose again. And then the whole process repeats over and over again. And that's exactly the wrong mindset and what we shouldn't do.

Why do we lose? Probably because we made mistakes that we shouldn't have made. We can learn so many things from losing. So if we are losing the next time - we won't be disappointed. Instead we use the chance to identify the reasons why we lost and work on them.

Every professionall player was going through that process once and still is. But they did find the right way and mindset to handle defeats. And that's what we should also do - if we want to become better pool players.
