A Fearless Magical Inventory

http://www.starcitygames.com/magic/misc/15107_Feature_Article_Creating_a_Fearless_Magical_Inventory.html

"How do you make a Fearless Magical Inventory? Simple: make a list of the things you secretly know you are doing wrong in Magic. Be honest with yourself. Stop lying to yourself and face reality. Take your ego out of it and admit you don't do everything perfect, yet.

Make a conscious decision to stop pretending you are better than you really are. You are exactly as good as you are. No amount of fooling yourself will trick you into winning more. Make a list of every weakness in your game, no matter how much you may at times pretend its not. Post this list online. Show your friends. Put it up on your facebook. Put it somewhere public so that you can't lie to yourself any longer"

-- Patrick Chapin, Next Level Magic

1. I don't actually push myself all the way at practice.
2. I use my lack of stamina to play lazy defense, claiming "I'm resting" or something of that nature.
3. I have a tough time balancing between putting every throw deep and every throw under.
4. I rarely, if ever, pull the layout trigger on D.
5. I give up too early on long throws, either to me or my man.
6. I can't read the disc very well, especially over my shoulder.
7. I can't bid going into the disc.
8. I always back my man on defense so I can say to myself "Well, I didn't get scored on" even if my man getting open directly led to a score.
9. I blame the mark getting broken for the reason why my man got open on the break side instead of just playing tighter on them.
10. I couldn't break someone with a backhand to save my life
11. I use the excuse "I'm not a captain" for a lot of things.
12. I blame my receiver for dropping discs that are difficult to catch rather than assigning the blame to myself
13. I have a tough time seeing what is going right or wrong on the field when I am doing anything but looking to see what is right or wrong.
14. I think that just "putting in work" is good enough.
15. I am not good enough at getting open for dumps, which often makes our offense stagnant.
16. I don't know how to function as a cutter.
17. I am not aggressive enough against a mark, so I don't move them around enough or get enough break opportunities.
18. I need to be more vocal in every aspect.
19. I use confusing hand signals when I handle, so people are unsure of whether or not to clear out or adjust their cut.
20. I will drop almost a pass a game for no particular reason
21. My backhand isn't SO bad that it is unusable.
22. I make excuses where I just admit I am wrong so it is extremely difficult to argue with me
23. I am slow and can't jump.
24. I often close my eyes when I bid for a disc and don't catch it, and then blame it on thethrower for giving me a janky pass.

That's all I can think of.
