Expanded Notes:
- Everyone deals with voices in their head; It's how you deal with them that matters
- Some summary reactions to Barkley's interview:
-
- Too many voices leads to confusion, distraction and lack of focus
-
- Pick a voice and go with it
- The voices, the lessons, the practicing, can feel like activity when it's actually keeping from you playing the game. Or they can become the quest for the next thing that will finally get you there
-
- Check your motivation and adjust accordingly
- Determine who the best voices are (the top 1-3) and focus there
- Not all head voices are positive, some are quite negative
-
- When you fail to execute, which voice(s) helps you to recover
- Anticipate 'the errant shot' so that when it happens you know how to recover
