The Stress Response

The human brain wasn't meant to deal with stress thousands of years ago. The occasional threat was a predator. All these physical changes were preparatory phase to fight and flight.
However today it means different. This stress response has the power to spoil our performance. Nervousness and anxiety make you commit mistakes.

What I heard from champion's is that they visualize the success in Technicolor. They visualize with all their senses; they know what it will sound like on the podium; they taste the salt in their tears; feel the sun on their backs in front of that crowd.

Don't Focus On Winning
Instead focus on what you can control.
