PERFORMANCE REPORT

By LIEZA KLEIN – Performance Reporter “Mental toughness is the ability to control thoughts and actions and maintain a focus on what is truly important in a calm and poised way under competitive pressure.” Sports Psychology does apply to a wide variety of serious athletes. Most students (junior, high school, college, and professional athletes) are highly committed to excellence and seeing how far they can go in sports. They love competition and testing themselves against the best in their sport. They understand the importance of a positive attitude and mental toughness. These athletes want every possible advantage they can get including the mental edge over the competition. - Healthy Lifestyles Living

With the 2022 regular season of Region V coming to an end, I can’t help but to reflect on our finals. With the double point system, it is most definitely a love hate relationship with the process. We, as contestants find ourselves counting points instead of just doing what we know how to do. Our minds are distracted, and we enter the weekend a ball of nerves. At the end of the weekend, there are always surprised outcomes. The mental side of our competition takes a back seat until you realize something is missing. Then you find yourself scrambling for information and knowledge to help you focus, balance nerves and etc. As a competitor, take a moment from your week and study up and practice your mental game. You will be surprised how much farther and how much stronger you will be if you take in the mental side of your competitions. With that being said, we had a great finals. Our cowgirls and cowboys rallied those 2 days and when the dust cleared, the winners were announced:
