My wife is playing in her first WPBA event next week. Just the other day she named a player that she is already afraid to play. I'm definitely going to show her your video. Thx and it is truly great to have you back sir!

Hi Niels, my game tonight was amazing my game was more focused. I took my 4 seconds breathing technique like you said. This friend and I played quite a few sessions and he won me most of the time every time with one point. But tonight I won him 9-4. I kept my eyes on the balls I didn’t look at him I stayed focus. My game was on another level tonight. THANK YOU FOR THE ADVICE. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. I appreciate all your efforts. God bless you Niels. Marlo from South Africa / Cape Town

Wow Marlo!!! That's awesome 😎👌🔥 Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work!!!!

[@JerryLee..]

This is timely! Been dealing with pressure, not intimidation but self induced pressure to not loose to a lower rated player.

[@olavodias]

Another excellent video! Thank you very much for teaching us. I took your courses and it helped me a lot. I used to get so intimidated when playing guys with a Fargo Rating 100 points higher than mine that I would lose the match before it even started lol... I changed it a while ago and, so far, it has been a much more pleasant experience playing better players.

[@johnniewalker9737]

That was fantastic advise Niels. Cheers bruv.

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Glad you enjoyed it🔥💪

[@gian323]

Watching this channel is like a cheat code. Reminds me of my limited experience playing in tournaments and the ebbs and flows of confidence during figuring out my groove versus live competition. Thank you Niels!

[@busterbuster1641]

Actually watched this before my match last night. Played a guy who plays for my country's national team (blackball). Still lost, but it helped me to be more focused and I even won a few games. Cheers Niels.

[@davidtorres4229]

[@smaueluminium877]

Love the content, especially anything to do with language and pool! Worth mentioning that the "tim" in "intimidation" means "fear," and it's interesting and helpful to explore exactly what I'm fearful of (losing, embarrassment, shame, letting myself down) when I feel intimidated.

[@arijano82]

This is sooo true, i have tryed this method and it works. I imagine that a pro Player is watching me play and i have to Demonstrate him my play. It works

[@hami-557]

Excellent video. Exactly what I needed to hear

[@TimDEagle]

Niels you’re my favorite pool channel on YT! One of my favorite pros!

[@jaroslav-6027]

One think which helped me a lot was having a little paper next to my drink saying "why do you play pool"? It reminds me that the number one reason why I started playing was because of my undying love for pool, it really helps to calm me down. Of course I still feel pressure but it helps me to cope much better!

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Very nice tip and something i also do from time to time. Go over my weapons list and reasons before a match. Can really make a difference! 😄💪🏼🔥

[@busterbuster1641]

Great to have you back Niels. Missed you. Can't wait to watch. Gonna wait until tonight after my league match. Stay strong bro!

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Tnx mate! Enjoy 🔥💪🏼👍🏼😄

[@Dorkkyy95]

This is so powerful.. i have been preaching this and working on it.. i always say if you are struggling to STARE at the table.. 💪👏

[@clemensstapp3234]

Hi Niels, i had this experience last week and lost a 12:4 lead🙄 I try to change my mindset after watching this Video. Thx. Greets Clemi

[@darrenhadden1037]

Champion advice 🏆 Excellent 🎉

[@ryanvanderley3943]

GREAT ADVICE! thank you sir

[@glockasauruswrex6362]

For me the best nights of pool come when I know the level of play will demand my best, but with no expectations about the results, I just go to "have fun" with it! Then I'm able to focus, but stay loose throughout the tourney. Great content as always, Coach! Tip #2 imma have to try because I was always taught to read my opponents every move, but I can see your point. Kinda like using your peripheral vision to watch them...seeing them, but not looking directly at them.

[@frederiquerijsdijk]

This is awesome stuff. For the champions of the next generation.

[@terrythomas4407]

Niels, there is a great book and workbook combo by a former pro hockey player entitled, "Think Strong". Great help for maxing out and competing with your best mind set.

[@hanspw]

Great vid again champ, and a HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to the Hall of Fame.. fantastic journey 👍👏👏👏

[@rafaelgarcia1012]

Very usefull tips. Thank you very much ❤

[@alejandrocerrud4049]

Great video as usual!!!

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Thanks again!🙏🙏

[@Rickbearcat]

I would add that looking at your draw FIRST leads to anxiety THEN intimidation. Anxiety leads to being nervous and jerky in your stroke and second-guessing your motions at the table which leads to a bad performance. Which then just compounds upon itself. This then leads to mistakes at the table, culminating in total negativity and destructive thoughts. Otherwise, a good video.

[@brettcreech3490]

Great video man . Love the messages on the wall about character. God bless

[@busterbuster1641]

I used to think pool was all technique, but Niels is so right that the mental side is SO important. Many a time you can actually defeat yourself just by your poor mental attitude.

[@geoblue699]

A great video thank you. When I practice I always want to play with someone as good as I am or better it's not much fun unless you're playing for money to beat up on someone less than you

[@SenseiNatePlaysPool]

💪🏼 strong tip Niels! Thank you sir.

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

🙏🏻🙏🏻 appreciate it 👍🏼😄🙏🏻

[@gustaffriberg7742]

Great video! Would it make ever make sense to focus on the opponent, even though intimidation is not in play? Or should you always just focus on the balls and the table to minimize distractions?

[@Braynzz]

Should have watched this video 20 years back in time. Missed out on qualification for the Dutch open 6 times. Was in the same bracket as some Goats Lely and Feijen :(:::: :)

[@andrelavoie8410]

very useful tip. Thanks.

[@jacques_vanjaarsvelt]

Another great video. Love the mental course! Excited for the Skype call.. still need to arrange it.. (Peter Bron says hi😜) - I'm unfortunately not in Delft when you are here.. I'll be in South Africa visiting family but please if you are in the Netherlands still from the 14th let me know. I'd love to meet you in person🙏🏼🇳🇱🇿🇦

[@Krushard]

Wow, don't study your opponent, that's something new and quite deep when you think about it. Thank you! But I'm afraid I'd need another 10 videos on how not to choke because one is definitely won't cut it in my case, lol.

[@Zigahn]

Another great tip Niels I will try to use this one at the NK's in the Netherlands. And hopefully I will draw you in a round.. This was always my mental weakness, playing a stronger player. Need to bring my A game then because I saw you beat the Ghost 7 to 0 in your video...😅 Hehe see you there 👍 👊

[@vitalikliber]

First like, first view, first comment. Thanks Neils

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Thanks!! 🔥🔥👍🏼👍🏼😄

[@SpaceboyBilliards]

I think it helps that I have a healthy level of cockiness. I believe I will play in the Mosconi Cup one day and that I currently have one of the best barbox 8 ball games in the world, so idc who the guy in the chair is. The only player I have to win against is the voice in my head that self-sabotages

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

True that!💪

[@busterbuster1641]

The league I play in has lots of 'banter' or 'sledging' going on and so i agree that being cocky can put off your opponen,t as does employing tactics to annoy. You def have to train yourself to either ignore stuff or push back. It's part of the game and is super-effective when done right. Of course, you still needs the chops on the table too to take advantage of errors.

[@SpaceboyBilliards]

@busterbuster1641 haha i didnt mean that kind. Im a quiet player. But internally I'm rarely flustered. However, I am a defensive person due to my upbringing and circumstances, so a player verbalizing out loud the kind of confidence I feel can throw my mental game off if it's borderline bullying. Doesn't throw off my actual game, but definitely can get the drama going 😂

[@jasonnieuwenhuis7995]

More great tips from the Terminator!

[@kennethharrell1291]

Great advice. Can't to use it

[@CornJohn95]

It is funny to me how much natural this video sounds when played at faster speeds

[@CornJohn95]

A great video anyway! :)

[@Bart_Depestele]

Thank you, de volgende keer lig je erop :)

[@muhweziblessings]

You should try a career in education yo a very good teacher Fiejen

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Thank you!! 🙏🔥

[@hbgstorm]

I'm the opposite, i'm afraid to lose against a worse player than me, someone who is just slightly worse than me, those are the ones that lowering my game the most.

[@tomwallace3103]

HA! HA! The good players know your going to dog a few games, so they are not racing to the same amount of games .😜
