Today, I am getting the opportunity to train with amazing coaches and players. I am going to be a strong competitor today. Even when things are not going well, I will continue to search for answers to solve the problems. I cannot simply say that I am playing bad. I have to find out why and try to fix it even if it feels like nothing is working.

I have an obligation to my parents, my coaches, and my future self to give my 100% effort throughout the whole day today. That is emotional, tactical, physical, and technical. I can't completely ignore parts like I did in my tournament.

My coaching voice will remind me that competition helps to show me who I am and who I can become. I saw who I was when nothing is working, and I definitely need to improve that to get closer to who I can become. Today, I will be a good problem solver. When things don't go well, I will be ready to deal with them.
