It’s Competition Time!

I compete tomorrow for the first time in nine months.

How do I feel?

Nervous. 

But then again… because the science tells me the physiological response my body has to the label “nervous” or “nerves” is the same as to the label “excitement” or “excited”, I drop the nerves and pick up excitement only. (NLP diploma for the win, once again!)

And rather than wondering, ‘what if this competition goes horribly?’ (picture: my 2022 season!), I’m asking myself the question: ‘what if this competition is my best opener ever?’ (Picture: Qualifying for the 2022 Commonwealth Games’ Final)

As my intuitive performance coach, Iris always reminds me: Don’t worry about the ‘how’. Focus on the ‘what’. 

Believe. Trust. Jump.
