[Jaspacouts]

ok guys im really struggling and i dont know what to do. I really need some help here. last year i was a junior for a DI highschool in RI. I was also the 2nd best Face off man in RI next to a 3 time senior all American who is now at UVA. the summer after my junior year i did a ton of showcases and camps and dominated everyone in faceoffs i really didnt loose (not being cocky) i was even recruited to a D2 school to be there faceoff guy. but then this years season comes up and i had been working on them alot gettin ready to be the best FO man in RI. the begining was going pretty good and now were about 4 games into the season and i cant win 1 face off im letting my team, my coach and myself down i dont know what to do its like i lost a full second on the clamp i use to be insanly fast i never even tried to learn another move cuz the clamp was all i needed. i would watch as every guy i went against used 5 moves against me and still i would kill them on the clamp. but now nothing im tryin everything i can idk what happened. im not sure if anyone can help me but if u can i really really need it i dont know what else to do anymore and ill pretty much try anything so please anyone if you have any advise im all ears. thank you

It sounds like you're putting yourself down so much that you are too tense and stressed when playing games, so you aren't as fast. I don't know if you prefer to play relaxed, pumped up, angry, whatever, but however you used to feel while doing face offs during the summer, try and replicate it. Tune out your thoughts that tell you your going to mess up again and just do it.
