Perhaps I may be closer than you know TJ
>>>>his is the new team we're on now, yes? So they won't be able to compete for 3-4 years and also need to become more ruthless you think? By ruthless do you mean play the greay areas more, or train harder, or adopt a more ruthless playing style?
More or less toxpand on train harder in my previous posts its not about training more its about the right training regime if you like, turning up and plying each other is not what its all about
swapping hands to play lefty righty is great and gives you an egde and only one thing I have agreed with Peter about is dont take a stupid risk unless you have to, you can win games without trading
My style of play make s me the agressor and I believe you should take this stance if you can at all times in the modern game
Grey areas of course all the top teams push the boundaries
And there arte some of the finer points that need to be addressed one of which is experience, all players need experience
>>>In my opinion you defintitely need that streak of aggression/focus/will to win, whatever you call it, but I know some really good guys who are at the top of their chosen sports and who are great guys, but get tha eye of tha tiger when they get into the ring/onto the field/onto the race course. I think that often the absolute best are nice, cos they can turn that intensity off and on, but some can't and come across as *******s cos of it...perversely, I always found that it's tha second tier, the nearly-great players, who have tha worst attitude problems in all tha sports I've competed in.
Agree with some of that, but have met some paintballers that really at the top of there class that are really arseholes all the time, even though to your face they may pretend they be your friends
But paint a picture that there nice until you turn your back
Some that like to rule by aggression all the time
I have time for all players in paintball from the first timer right through to the PRO player, my respect is for all, I do admit I can be a complete and utter C**t alot of the time on the field though
And am not really proud of some things I have said to people during and after a game but once I calm down I will always apologise if I have done wrong in my eyes
A top pro team would be the top 3 in the NPPL for the time being and thats not the ranking at end of year its the 3 that hit 1, 2 , 3rd in events as reffing can throw that out a little
Forget the millenium the NPPL is harder by far, the ability of there Am and Novice blows our Pros out of the water in Europe
I am sure you have a list that will give me the NPPL ranking as it stands but take out the reffing score and then quote it to me
please
