APA leagues have given me quite a bit of confidence lately. However, I've been pretty disappointed in my teams performance the past two weeks. I just wish I could figure out a way too have my confidence and cockiness on the pool tables, rub off on the rest of the team. The first two sessions that I captained this team, we got first place. We were in first two weeks ago and have dropped near the bottom since. I just don't understand how five of the best players in the league can drop from first place so drastically, in so little time. I am still undefeated this session, where as everyone else on my team has a losing record. I'm the only one on the whole team that has won in two weeks. I have to accredit this to my extreme cockiness and confidence when I'm playing; and the fact that I play pool like a god when I'm drunk. LOL.
People look at cockiness as a bad thing, but I don't really see it that way. I like to compare cockiness and confidence too geniuses. What I mean by this is that a genius is going to have to work way less than a normal person to succeed in a educational setting; where as a cocky/confident person has to work less than a timid/fearful person in everyday life. I kind of just went out on a limb with this blog because of my frustration with the way that leagues have been going lately. Screw wanting to be like Mike. I wanna be like me. For everyone on my team that reads this; (which I know some of you will) come out of your shells and let's represent like we have in the past.

Very interesting blog post, Chad. I think confidence can be a very powerful tool to success. I think confidence as a writer comes through in a writer's voice.
