“I will not accept that he is playing too good or think that I have no chance to win. That is not an intelligent way to think.”

Today, I am going to be playing a practice match. The person that I am playing is very streaky. He will have a few games where he plays amazing and a few games where he plays poorly. My goal is to stay confident and positive throughout. When he is playing well, I will fight back until he lets up eventually. I will not accept that he is playing too good or think that I have no chance to win. That is not an intelligent way to think. Instead, I will consider what is making him play so well and what I can do to disrupt that.
