Focus on what you know you can do. Know what you're capable of on any given day, and what you can count on. Do the simple things well, and then use the confidence to build up the rest of your game. Learn to differentiate between what is truly important and what can be dealt with at another time.

So the trick is to schedule regular sessions of intense practice, while always leaving time to juggle and generally goof around with the ball
