“White Moment”: “White Moment” Have you ever heard of a Russian Term called a "White Moment"? It is said to occur at the point in a match in which the victor takes the game from the loser. It isn't necessarily the game ending shot, but the shot that decides the outcome. It is that horrible moment in which one compettitor's psyche is destroyed and the others confidence boosted to the point where the outcome is inevitable. In America we call it "Being in the zone". I would love to hear any thoughts you have on it in a future column and, of course, any techniques you could share for attaining that state would be appreciated. J ason Davenport
