This surely isn't a unique feeling, right? Did a game yesterday after a while out of the middle, felt rusty and not really with it, thought my performance wasn't 100% in half a dozen respects, came off, assessor said I did really well and looked good.

Someone please reassure me that this happens to other people as well.

Sometimes its all in your own head..........................sometimes you just get away with it!! :biggrin:

Doesn't really matter as long as you do your own self assessment....................you don't have to tell anyone there are things you want to do better; just get on with it.

I've had it before, My assessor thought that my performance was amazing, but I thought it was shocking. I have no idea why/how, but it happened. I've also had the players think I was very bad and the assessor think I was great. It all depends on the day, like yesterday I thought I had an ok game, but the players were all very positive.

I mean, I even asked him (carefully!) what he thought of a couple of things I did that I was very unsure about, and he said straight-up "they looked good, you did them well".

Someone was filming, so I guess that'll make interesting viewing.
