Bad races are bound to happen.
Sometimes they are completely out of your control, even though you have trained
day after day for this big day. You have woken up before the sun rises, you
have put in time after school, and you have made goals and put in the work in
order to achieve them. The inevitable happens. You fail. Now what?
1. Move Forward. Unfortunately you are
unable to go back in time and change how you performed. Sure you can dwell on
your performance and let it eat you up, but that will only leave you
distraught. Do your best to put this behind you and move forward in your training.
2. Acknowledge it. Instead of letting it
bother you, use that for fuel. What happened? What went wrong? Once you
determine your trouble areas, you will be able to create a strategy
accordingly. Do you need to work on your flips, your breathing, etc? Work on
your weaknesses and make them your strengths.
3. No one is perfect. Everyone faces
different troubles and failures at some point in their lives, it is how you
overcome those that matter. One race will not make or break your entire year.
It won’t take you back in progress. No one is perfect. As soon as you realize
that everyone fails, the less you allow it to control you.
