Hi Phillip,

Firstly it is great that you have decided to play again.  Don't try to compare yourself to other players, just focus on how much you can improve.  I will be very interested to see how much we can also help you to improve over the next year.

Motivation should always be about yourself rather than trying to beat others.  You have no control about how well they play but you do have control over how you play and how much you improve.

Work hard and focus on improving your game and you will see changes in your abilities.

With our help and the PingSkillers you will go far.
