How to prepare yourself mentally before going out on the mat
The best way to prepare yourself mentally before going out is to train right up to the last moment – keep rehearsing your routine up to the last moment. And in those two or three minutes while you’re waiting for your name to be announced, continue to go through in your mind the element that you worry about the most. And you have to realize that nothing is too small to deserve attention here. Even when you’re passing an object from one hand to another, something can go wrong. Everything is very important, and the brain must always be working. You can only relax after you leave the stage. But nerves are a good sign, at least for me.
