Episode 35 - Game Selection and Perfectionism

MTT Coach Gareth James and Peak Performance Consultant Dr. Tricia Cardner kicked Episode 35 off with Tricia and Gareth talking about her new puppy Oliver Twist & Gareth’s new boiler situation. Also, Gareth shared a couple of large online MTT wins that he accomplished in the last couple of weeks. Gareth jumped into his question on game selection and we had an in-depth discussion on the various components that make a game “good” including field size, overall opponent skill, and value. Game selection can make a real difference to your bottom line, so figuring it out is critical to your long-term profitability. Tricia then covered a question posted in her Facebook group about why we can know exactly what to do but fail to pull the trigger. She discussed the basic problems of perfectionism: unrealistic expectations, rumination, need for approval, concerns over making mistakes and doubts about proper action. It is important to study and build confidence in your fundamentals so that you know the right things to do and then you must get over your mental blocks in order to execute. You also have to strive for the right amount of fear – just enough caution but not too much such that you are paralyzed.
