Before:
Expect to feel nervous before important competitions. Nerves don't mean you're unprepared. They simply mean today's competition matters to you. Accept that some nerves are normal and then take steps to keep your intensity at a level that will help you perform. Use breathing, muscle relaxation, calming music, and smiling to reduce your intensity.
During:
When you notice nerves, don't fight them. Accept them, keep breathing, and redirect your attention toward your process and performance.
After:
Did today's MindRep help you? How did today's MindRep help you? Do you want to own it and make it a consistent part of your training?
