Sometimes we lose focus, sometimes we don't know what to look at (offensive or defensive player), sometimes we don't trust our partners, and added together we just don't have a good game.
If you have experienced this, what did you do to overcome this?

When feeling like I'm struggling to focus (normally we're talking rec ball or the end of a real blow out in a HS game), I do something to simliar to what was mentioned recently in another thread. I like to get to my spot, then go thru a "pre-play" in my mind as the ball is coming down the floor. (Okay, blue is on defense, you're in the lead we're looking in this area, right now referee this matchup blue 21 vs. white 11) I find having some consistent thought process to start a play helps me to prepare and "refocus" if you will when it is a struggle.
