Before You Leave for a National Event…
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.”
