Get prepared for the Junior Olympics and the second half of the competition season!
Selecting your tactics, creating your setup, and changing based on new information are skills every bit as important as advance-lunges and feint-disengages. So is managing expectations and anxiety; the best mindset makes each competition rep a new opportunity!
We’ll explore:
- Mindset Manipulation: Can you hack your brain to get the most out of every moment?
- Predictions, Plans, and Preparations: Can you win the touch before the referee says “fence?” Are there setups to solve multiple problems, stacking the deck even if you guess wrong?
- Resilience 101: How do we respond when things go wrong?
We'll discuss those skills, and set up a ton of situational bouts to practice common tournament situations and pressure, head to the Fairfax ROC/RJCC for a warmup, and you'll be ready for Junior Olympics!
At RTF, Darius Wei (foil) and Jacek Huchwajda (sabre) have crafted an environment dedicated to constant improvement. Whether you're a member of the RTF family or a guest, you'll learn useful skills in a fun, welcoming community.
Homestays may be available for out of town guests. Please contact Darius (darius@researchtrianglefencing.com) for more information.
