With many athletes heading to national camps and showcases in the coming days, this needs to be said clearly:
National events don’t reward emotion.They reward preparation.
Every year I see families who are excited to attend the National Camp Rankings Event
- Wake up late
- Skip Breakfast
- Rush out the door
- Skip proper warm-ups
- Skip stretching
- Skip mental prep
After spending thousands of dollars to be there.
Then the comment POST CAMP becomes:
“He just didn’t have it today.”
That’s not talent.That’s temperature control.
The best performers don’t try to “get hot” once they arrive.They arrive ready.
🎯 ONE QUESTION (PLEASE ANSWER HONESTLY)
Before your next event, what is the ONE thing you will control so you don’t start the day rushed, tight, or reactive?
👇 One word or one short sentence.
(Preparation always beats panic.)
“If you’re paying national-camp money, you should be showing up with national-camp preparation.”
