Karate Tournament

Pete competed in his first karate tournament on Saturday. He got a trophy for 3rd place in open forms, and a medal for sparring.

These are the strategies we reviewed in our mental preparation sessions:
1. Must have complete focus at all times
2. Keep moves solid and crisp
3. Always keep going, even if small mistake
4. Close eyes and visualize routine during prep time
5. Stay relaxed
6. Be proud of yourself whether you win or lose

This is the additional item to remember for next time:
7. Nice and slow
