The only thing I can relate do you is the old competition trick of forgetting the last shot.

I see many people get flustered on a shot and their feelings cross over into the next shot. The next failure creates a downward spiral of negative feelings that reduce performance. You must learn to think of only what you're doing now and forget both the future and past.

I'm sure there's a Zen saying in there somewhere.
