I go through a very similar cycle.
Exc...hahaha! I go through a very similar cycle. <br /><br />Except for this most recent competition. Bringing the girls from our women's team really put my emotions in order. I felt as though I absolutely had to keep my head in the game, emotions in check and have a good time. Allie and I are their examples, (which is weird!) and I knew if I panicked, freaked out or acted anything other than calm and collected I would give them a bad example. I realize it isn't true now, (We are all human after all.) but it helped me a lot at the time... <br /><br />I walked out on the mat knowing regardless of what happened I had to walk off, smiling and proud of myself... because that is what I tell them they should do. <br /><br />I lost and I won, and both times I was able to pull off the happy proud of myself because I was actually happy and proud of myself... which was nice because at the Miami Open I was a total sobbing wreck the second I could hide from my team. haha<br /><br />I now expect myself to behave like a sane adult at every competition from now on. It is all in my head, and I can over come that if I really want to. (Someone remind me of this in July.)Jiujitsunistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09041502171382772751noreply@blogger.com
