Do This If You Get Anxious Before Tournaments
In this concise instructional video, the speaker addresses pre‑tournament anxiety, particularly for golfers, and proposes a counter‑intuitive mental‑preparation technique. Instead of lengthy warm‑ups that can increase pressure, the advice is to limit the warm‑up to just five‑to‑ten minutes before a practice round, focusing on a brief physical routine (e.g., warming up the spine). By shortening the warm‑up, the player is forced to rely more on their innate instincts during the round. The speaker argues that trusting these instincts reduces stress and blood‑pressure spikes, leading to a calmer tournament experience. The overall message is that less preparation time can paradoxically improve performance by decreasing over‑thinking and anxiety.
