Focusing At Meets

[gymnast<3forlife96]

I don't know if it's just me, but I always bring my ipod to my gymnastics meets! Every event, right after I warm up, I listen to my ipod. I listen to anything that pumps me up. I usually feel more comfortable after doing this cuz I just feel at center with myself. While I'm listening to music, I take my routine apart, and say every skill in my head. Step by Step. Haha, I don't know, but that's just me!!

If you want, reply with a message about how you concentrate and focus at meets.
It's just something to talk about, so... reply

If i still had my Ipod i might do that but i dont...
Thats cool that it keeps you calm and collected. I usually chat with my coach or people im competing with (they're all so nice)

I'm one of those people who concentrates too much and then self-destructs from over-thinking, so I've learned to distract myself by cheering my head off for my teammates.

Same with me! I over think so I have to distract myself (listening to my ipod) or I get really nervous.
