[@saigesmart4167]

This is 100% in line with the inner game of tennis. The book describes your mind as two part. There's your inner self which is this super computer capable of insane and instantaneous calculations and then there's your active brain which is what your hear when you think. Basically the entire book is about learning to trust that super computer and not let your active brain mess with it. When you go for an open goal that pressure often makes your active brain override and that's why you miss. You are literally fighting yourself and not letting the more capable part of your brain do the work. You just have to guide what you want it to do and then trust that it will perform. It's cool to see that you came to a very similar conclusion here

This is why I play with the music always on. It allows my subconscious to do most of the playing so I do not overthink like I usually do.

[@SmeagolTheGreat]

As someone who throws an unhealthy amount of 1v1 matches due to open net misses, I think this video was long needed. I actually use the "aim small, miss small" mentality when shooting with bow and arrow, and it works pretty well there. I'll try to implement it in RL aswell.

Guys i have an actually good strat Treat your teammates like their bots whenever you get an open net and there near just imagine nothing bad can happen and they cant even touch the ball. Whenever doing a 50 never change your jump to suit how your opponents probaly gonna hit. Just hit the ball normally don’t overthink and remembe your opponents are bots

[@lliaolsen728]

I spent almost the whole game missing the ball entirely. 🥺 Dodged the kickoffs, missed the saves, missed the clears. Then my teammates bailed which caused me to change into my 1v3 do-or-die mode of play and I could finally hit the ball. Still didn't score :)

I watched the "How to shoot effectively" video and this one too, but felt a bit clickbaited each time. I'm still searching for that Rocket League video that can teach me (a gold that understands a lot about the game but still can't hit the ball where he wants it even if he practices the same shot 100 times so he's never getting out of gold) the mechanics of how to hit the ball accurately and consistently.

Good advice. I've found that playing 1s actually made me a lot better at open nets. In 2s and 3s, it's difficult to know when you are going to get an open net, so the surprise causes a "surge." Playing 1s desensitizes you to this by providing them more frequently and predictably - if you play in a party you can just start off with a Bo3 or tournament as part of your warm-up.

[@szymusu]

"Aim small, miss small" rule is totally true. When I played football (that sport where you hit ball with foot) I was often joking, my shots were inaccurate because goalkeeper is bad. But what is often the case, when goal is empty I just aim "in goal", but when goalie is really good, shots have to be really precise and strong, so im aiming e.g. "top left". By far the easiest targert to aim for is someone's head, it's small but really easy to focus on xD.

[@blurryface9910]

6:44 It might have been in the scope of this video to also mention here: if you are to the side of the goal (as seen here 3:52), try to make it a habit to aim closer to your car, so that if you hit it wide to the right at 3:52, it might go in or bounce in off the post, and if you hit it wide to the left, the ball will be centered for your teammate to clean up. Maybe you could even make another video on this.

The problem for me is that I feel that I am way to high ranked for my skill level. And this is mostly because I am decent at open goal shots, single hit power shots and passing so I do win alot but mechanicly I feel like crap compared to everyone else. Its funny how I hear alot of people complaining about how they feel they should be at so much higher rankings but keep going down cause everyone else sucks. I am ranked plat 3 and sometimes goes up to diamond but I feel like I play like a gold mechanicly I would prefer going down playing at lower ranked games find myself keep going up :/
