Experience is a great advantage. The problem is
that when you get the experience, you’re too
damned old to do anything about it.

Some action below from the tournament
Beating a Nemesis
Facing a player with a winning record against you comes with its challenges, but there are methods to
overcome this:
BE POSITIVE
Believe you can win. This is the simplest, yet most effective approach. Beating a nemesis often means
increased pressure, so it is important not to become too self-critical or let a negative mindset impact your
game.
LEARN FROM YOUR LOSSES
Turn a losing experience from a negative to a positive. It is important to reflect before and after matches,
so ask yourself: what did you learn from previous matches? Was there a strategy that was effective and
you should use again? Do they have a particular weapon that you should avoid?
REMEMBER IT IS NOT ALWAYS ABOUT WINNING
Sure, that is the end goal, but it is important not be consumed with the pressure of a result. Winning is a
process, so focus on what you can control. Get your serves in and be consistent.
DON’T BE OVERWHELMED
When facing a nemesis many players mistakenly focus too much on their opponent. Concentrate on con-
trolling your own attitude. If your opponent is playing well, don’t panic. This is your chance to rise to
their level.

Foods with X—Factor
Nutrients mean X-Factor when it
comes to your eating - it is important to
distinguish between fashion and fact.
TRENDING - Powders
Our supplement shelves that we are told to use to enhance our nutrient intake. Some of these
powders have benefits by delivering nutrients that are hard to consume given the food source.
However, this is not to say that we should be using them instead of good quality foods that provide
more than just a single nutrient. A green powder will not deliver the fibre and many other nutrients
that our dark green leafy vegetables provide.
NUTS, SEEDS AND AVOCADO
These highly nutritious foods provide essential fatty acids that are essential for our wellbeing and we
need to consume them from our foods, as we cannot manufacture them ourselves. These foods need
to be included in our diet - as long as there is no allergy - but it is important to be aware that they are a
high-calorie food and too much of them can lead to an increased calorie consumption, and thus weight
gain over time.
CONFUSION - Coffee
This vice has been around for thousands of years, but has become fashionable to drink with
friends or as a measure for starting your day. It is even part of a standard cocktail list now.
Coffee received a lot of criticism with respect to increasing blood pressure and the risk of dehydration.
More recently research has shown that coffee reduces the risk of bowel cancer. Now are you not sure
what to do? The one rule that always applies; it’s all about moderation.
FRUIT AND FRUCTOSE
Sugar has been identified as the killer ingredient in food. Unfortunately this has been taken
to an extreme - with the growing tendency of people assuming they have fructose intoler-
ance, sugars including fruit have been cut out from many people’s diets. Fruit provides
many benefits - ranging from fibre to vitamins and minerals, phytonutrients and fluid for hydration.
There are too many advantages to cut fruit unnecessarily from your diet.
A MODERATE APPROACH
Eating is essential for life. Eating well is essential for a healthy life. Knowing what will give you the
best to achieve ideal wellness is not about following trends. Just remember too much of a good thing
can also be not so great for you.
