Hello,
I do have some kind of odd questions.
Last February I started playing again (after 20 years of not playing).
I play in a fast paced rec league and there are always a couple of high skilled players on each team.
While it was easy for me too keep up with the speed I found it quite difficult to keep track on what was going on around me.
So right now I think that while my body is giving a 100% my head obviously isn't as calm and cool as I wish. Once I slow the pace down a bit everything is fine (except for the fact that the fast pace of the game doesn't allow it most of the time).
Has anyone been in a similar situtation?
Do you think this is simply due to a lack of exercise?
My current explanation would be that my muscle memory is far from "auto-mode", meaning that while my body powers my mind has to focus on skating, stick-handling etc. as well as on keeping track of players positions, movements etc. If this was the case things will be fine with more practice. But maybe there are other aspects that I just don't see.
Hope I somehow made myself intelligible and I would be very interested in any kind of advice.
