Ask yourself: What would the self-talk of a champion be like as he prepared for competition? How would that champion be moving his body around as he prepared? And how would that champion be breathing as he prepared to enter the competition and face his opponent? Then do it. Bring it all together for several minutes prior to your time, and allow yourself to enter into this totally prepared and empowered state before you compete. Get out of your own way. Let your training take over.
To prepare for competition, envision the self-talk of a champion, focusing on positive and empowering affirmations. Consider how this champion moves with purpose and confidence, channeling energy through their body in a way that supports their performance. Visualizing these elements can help you mentally and physically gear up for the challenges ahead.
As you approach the moment of competition, take time to incorporate this mental imagery and physical readiness into your routine. Breathe deeply and steadily, allowing these practices to enhance your focus and calmness. Embrace this empowered state, trust in your training, and allow yourself to step aside from self-doubt, fully prepared to perform at your best.
