FAQs

Sound like you?

Do you regularly do well in the weekly workouts, but as soon as someone’s watching you and judging your movements to standard you suddenly lose your ability to do those things well? This is a problem solved by fixing your focus.

“I have big goals for every competition, I want to perform at my best, but I often get crushed quickly the moment I realize I can’t achieve them. I don’t want to set lower goals, but I also don’t want to get so discouraged.” This is a problem solved by defining your goals more precisely for competition.

Competition goals tend to become much more detailed and specific that will help you navigate your way successfully through the necessary steps of a competition. These goals are also specifically designed for maintaining your focus, motivation, effort, sense of success, and continued learning and improvement.

Not at all! But don’t let it get away from you. We all get some kind of nervous or excited energy when we compete, which can feel like we’re not quite in control. So, it is tempting to sprint out of the gate and burn off that energy. But beware! You might accidentally burn off too much and end up really struggling at the end.

Recovery is both a physical and mental game that can be especially challenging for people who are used to pushing themselves really hard every day. Not only do you need to actually rest and recover (versus “relaxing” or “chilling out”), but you need to be mentally prepared to really do it!

It might seem like controlling your focus can only be done in the real competition environment, rather than something you can prepare ahead of time, but you can (and should!). Your mental focus can be a make or break factor in competition. Not only to keep yourself controlled, but also being able to capitalize on the small moments that can give you an edge or steal an opportunity. The real question is, why risk it when you can prepare as much beforehand to at least have a strategy for when unexpected distractions rear their ugly heads?
