Early ChallengeRoss had a mental block that whenever he sat across a good player he would lose. He had to get to the point where he understood he had a chance. This came through practice.
Worst Magic MomentAt UK Nationals 2017, Ross picked the wrong strategy in a matchup and lost. The issue was he switched his plan midway through. If you have a plan make sure you have a good reason to switch.
