Train so hard in preparation for the day of the battle/ test that you are at total peace and there is nothing that can happen to you on that day that has'nt already taken place in the gym. This makes it a truly magical moment i.e you are there to have fun. No matter the result.
Competition and performance in any skill is 90% mental and 10% technical (especially at a world class level). If you truly believe you're going to win, there is a very strong chance that you will. Every ounce of your body and mind will not let you give up. Conditioning yourself to believe in yourself should be an everyday ritual. Hard work and drilling in the gym helps to attain that conditioning. Related to guitar, if one thinks that they're definitely gonna screw up before a gig, these negative thoughts will certainly mess up the performance MORE than usual. An artist is likely to perform better if he/she's relaxed, having fun and not really caring attitude for screwing up on stage. Furthermore, what helps is having a long term approach. If you think 5-10 yrs down the line or even more, this upcoming event will feel insignificant in your journey. This thought will help in relaxing and having fun at it. So don't make it bigger than it is in your head. Remember, no belt, medal or fame could beat... living in the moment and truly enjoying what it is you are doing. Even if you're failing .. Make sure your worst enemy doesn't live between your own two ears. And try to develop the mindset of a champion in any discipline you choose: NEVER confuse defeats with FAILURE or SUCCESS with victories. In the life of a champion there will always be some losses, as in life there will always be a loser wins. The difference is that while the CHAMPIONS grow in defeat, the losers settle in wins. -------------------- "If the need is deep, you WILL find a way , if it isn't, you'll find some excuse"

High Ben,
haha might be your long hair that i thought you are a long person 30 years and more ago i did have the same long hair - but now i can count easily that few hair are left i am not anymore into a club but do some training for to keep body and mind in shape - main Zenzai has been Tokio Funasako and Hans Hertner his scolar and a real good traditional Zenzai ... he's gone his way some years ago my wife and my daughter got me a dog that i have to walk a lot in the nature and sometimes we run through forest and my dog always in front of me - a good trainer. The main tip i could say right now is the art of breathing its even more difficult as the body keeping in shape . A great Kata called Ten Sho https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0D6VYrXTVU ! it doesn't work to insert ! is a great exercise for the whole shape , mind ,body, breath -- i hope my english uses the right words -- and for a lifetime. Goju Ryu is the cat style but traditionary training you don't find every where but its the real thing . From witch area in england are you , maybe i can find out some contact !? I still know some people from england too . Anyway it doesn't matter witch style -- important is to be serious with it -- if there comes a nother gate -- why not go through the way is the same its YOUR WAY !

Look your opponent in the eye and say "I've already kicked your arse... you're back for more?!!"
Zen is right about the mental aspect being equally important. Learning to control mood from day to day is the biggest challenge of athletes. The phrase "he's on fire!" tells a tale in its own right - it's not as if the day before he was any less fit or talented ~ it's just that he's in game mentally. *note: i'm using "he" in the gender neutral sense -------------------- The more I practice, the more I wish I had time to practice!
