Performing at Your Best in Competition
You can perform best in competition if you remember the following pointer:
- Enjoy the performance - if you find it dull, then you may need to psych yourself up or focus on performance rather than outcome goals. If
you are so stressed that you do not enjoy the performance, implement stress
management techniques.
- Execute, analyse and improve skills in practice. In competition perform thought-free - trust all that
hard training. Only analyse your performance after the event.
- If you make a mistake during performance, forget about it and focus on executing the next skill
properly. Dwelling on past mistakes will distract you from good performance of present skills.
- Use Pre-Competition Rituals, On-
Site Psych Plans and Refocusing Plans to block distractions,
prepare for all eventualities, and keep your performance flowing.
