I been lurking on this newsgroup for a while and I thought it would be a

good time to jump in and pass along a few tips.  With all the talk about the

mental part of the game, hear are a few ways to get the REAL edge.....



#10. Always stare at the other forward when hes shooting.

#9.  Stall when the other player is waiting to drop....put your hands on

     the handles, than take them back off quickly.

#8.  Make a rude noise after every time you score.

#7   when the other team scores, shake your head in disgust.

#6   Throw the ball at the other team when its there serve.

#5   When the other goalie makes a good shot, say "Let him hit one he was

     aiming at"

#4   If the ball comes off the table and lands at your feet, kick it under

     the table to the other side.

#3   Never grab the ball when its your serve and the other guy is handing

     it to you, adjust your men, clean the table...than snatch it.

#2   If the other team asks about a rule violation, immedeatly demand a

     ref, than two, than argue with both of them for 15 minutes.

#1   Dont show up until you are on recall, than show up & disappear again.



Hope these help.  If any of you newer players need any tips at Nationals,

feel free to come up and ask me.



See yall there,
