Anxiety many times prior to an event has made many of us play bellow our ability.
Uncertainty can cause athletes to mentally envision mistakes and fear the worst prior to a competition, which leads to lack of trust in your skills.
Fearing the worst, becomes negative images that will ruin performance every time.
The solution could be visualization. Experience the event before it happens.
This could help being ready mentaly. By visualizing yourself there succeeding, you become mentaly ready because know the event is already known.
As i am competing in two weeks, I want to make a habbit of visualizing my self getting there, weighing in, having my warm up, to the point of hitting the numbers i want to achieve.
Imagine my self being in a good mood and following my routine.
The visualization will provide a plan. So everything will be ready when the time comes. My mind will not freak out by the unknown.
Let me hear your thoughts and your experiences. Do you have some kind of routine to mentaly prepare you? ☺️
