Dwelling on calls

[VaTerp]

I have gotten pretty good at being able to move on after a bad call but this past Wednesday I had a bad GAME that is still in my head.

Frankly, it's probably the worst game I can remember. No major rules gaffes or anything that I think changed the rightful outcome of the game but just an overall poor job. The Home coach, who ended up winning, was chirpy throughout the game. At one point in the 3rd he said, "you're calling this ticky tack stuff but then not calling what really needs to be called." I just thought to myself, "You're right coach, I've been AWFUL tonite."

I tried self talk and a few other mental excercises but for whatever reason I just could not get into the game mentally. Very dissapointing because I'm at the stage in my career where I feel like I'm really ready to take it to the next level. But this game was just awful and it's still in my head 2 days later.

Fortunately I get back on the court tonight and will move past this but it's still disturbing that I had a whole game that I'm dwelling on. Anyone else have one of those nights where you just couldnt get it going at all?
