This is so true. I think it is also important to play in different settings, even if slightly tired and not wait for the « perfect moment » when all the stars align and you are in top form. In a tournament, you don’t get to decide when the game starts or who needs to stop coughing or dropping his pen, so learning how to get into the zone and how to focus is important as well.
100% agree, adults tend to like to study until they’re “ready” but you can’t ever be ready this way. You need to play and lose, then try again. Great article
What a great article.. shedding light on a highly important aspect of improving and getting stronger. Love it! I’d love to read about the pain/ fear of losing and how to deal with it.. how to keep going even if it is too intense and how to utilize this pain/ fear, to actually grow stronger!
