Today is a rest and recovery day for the World Team. We all have
different ways to rest and recover before we prepare for the Worlds. Also, we
have competition preparation tomorrow with simulation of the Worlds
competition. In preparation for the competition simulation, I am doing what I
do before the time of actual competitions. I am going to do the hot and cold
contrast to prepare my body and recover it from the workouts that we have had
before during this week as well. Our matches tomorrow are to get us in the
competition mode to make us prepare and focus on the competition. It helps to
prepare for us to compete better in the Worlds and want to win every
situation.
Today, I am focusing on recovering my body so that I can have the
best practice possible so I get the most out of it while training and preparing
for my Worlds competition. For me we had a few hard workouts this week and my
legs are pretty tired and sore so I feel like I need to get the hot and cold
contrast the recover my legs. We all have different ways to prepare the days
before tournaments, but the better we get at preparing for our tournaments the
better. I’m just trying to prepare myself the best way that I know how so that
I can do my best in the tournament so I can compete the best possible. No
tournament is the same, no match is exactly the same it changes every time.
I do what I can and sometimes get in a little extra to prepare myself for
the battle out on the mat that is coming up. The more I can imagine the
tournament setting tomorrow in the matches, maybe the less I'll be stressed for
the actual competition. For example, my simulation could make me less
nervous when stepping out on the match at the World Championships. I am very
excited for this opportunity that I have to compete at Worlds this year, but
while being very excited that does make me nervous at the same time. I am going
to do my best to prepare myself for the Worlds and try to find the best way or
ways to make myself less stressed or nervous so that when I step out on the mat
I am as prepared as possible and ready to go. The harder we push as a team the
better we can prepare each other so we can all compete in the Worlds our best.
Let’s GO Team USA!!!!!
