Stay Present for Best Performance

Are you overthinking an upcoming match?

Do you approach competitions with the mindset that your body will just know what to do?

Developing a pre-competition routine that helps you feel calm and focused can improve your overall performance. This routine may include warm-up exercises, stretching, visualization, and mental preparation techniques. Stick to this routine to create a sense of familiarity and control before
competing.

Here are a couple of things to keep in mind:

Stay present-focused: Avoid dwelling on past mistakes and worrying about future outcomes. Instead, focus on the task at hand and trust in your ability to perform in the moment.

Manage Expectations: Set realistic goals for yourself and acknowledge that mistakes and setbacks are a natural part of the competition experience. Embrace challenges as opportunities for growth and learning.
