Today, I am getting the opportunity to train with amazing coaches and players. I might only play one session today, since my knee has been hurting and I have a tournament tomorrow. While I will still try to remain focused and intense, I will try to remain calm and positive. I want to be enthusiastic when I play and not worry too much, because this attitude will carry over to tomorrow.
I have an obligation to my parents, my coaches, and my future self to not put too much emphasis on the tournament. After all, I will play many more tournaments and I will use this tournament to practice what I want to do, from how I want to act to how I want to play.
My coaching voice will remind me that enjoyment is what makes playing well possible for me. If I can think only in the context of enjoyment and my intentions, my fear will go away because I am not thinking about things out of my control.
