I like Carl Lewis approach to competition. He told his athletes to "Just run your race,not winning."

3:23 The time to think of the importance of a performance is during practice.

Thanks Dr G, stay true

Do everything durring practice. Train your ass off.lush yourself be hard on yourself ect bc whin the pressures on and it's game time u actually wanna just relax so u can perform . If you have everything u had to for your practices u don't need to be intense and nervous and phyced out . Relax and don't worry it's already there . Perform now focus and relax and don't be to serious this is actually when u will perform at you're greatest .. and if u do make mistakes forget about it and move on come practice time again u can correct those issues . Great advice . As time changes diets changes the way we workout ect .. modern phycology has to advance as well this is a different approach u don't gotta be yelling and getting all crazy . RELAX

[@balasubramanianviswanathan8806]

You are still peaking, dont worry about age, try to do a biomech analysis, if there is a scientific sports coaching institute nearby visit them, lot of details come into play when to plan to come back, posture, gait, muscle power (there are 2 type of muscles - one which give short bursts of power and the other which sustains power for a long duration) endurance, if you school / college has a coach it would be better or seek guidance from an Exercise Physiologist and Sports Physio

How to improve performances regardless of results

[@balasubramanianviswanathan8806]

Fun, Process of Doing it, Possibilities, Learning and most importantly joy of doing things, continuous improvement, excellence and not perfection

What's for dinner...

[@kenemesay]

doing what you do best on court/field. that's what we do. we aren't the best team but that's how we work together as a team. because when we start focusing on winning, games go south
