We know it's not over, but we want to give a huge thanks for such a great season. It has been a lot of fun, and we are excited to see where we grow from here.
As Region coaches, we have been working on trying to increase the number of entries we have at the Region meet this week. We know this isn't ideal, but we haven't received any official word yet on if this will happen. We are hoping for 8 spots / event. We might get 6. It may stay at 4. And we might not know this until Tuesday night. Yikes... If you might possibly fill into this expanded roster of spots for Region, please keep coming to practice. Although it is hard to plan since we don't know, the one thing we do know for sure is - if you don't come to practice, you won't be participating at Region. So let's see you there Monday and Tuesday. Plus, we want everyone (whether you are competing or not) to come support the team on Wednesday and Thursday at the Region meet at SC.

Quote of the Week -
"The world's best performers feel exactly what you feel before a big moment. The same racing heart, jittery hands, and head full of doubts. Research shows they've trained a different relationship. One founded not on eliminating them or calming down... but on shifting the interpretation."
- Steve Magness
This season (or many seasons for some of you) has been a great journey. And we are excited to see what you can make of it as we head into Region and State! But for many of us that excitement is met with a lot of anxiety about performance. This quote by Steve Magness carries a lot of weight. Most of us probably think that the greats don't feel those same nerves and scaredness that we do before we step onto the line or into the ring. But the reality is they do, research proves it. Research also shows that elites see nerves as a way for the body to get ready for the demands about to put on it. However, non-elites more often interpret nerves as a threat that ends up wrecking their performance (they saw it as a sign that they weren't ready). Even tell yourself (or having someone tell you) to calm down isn't effective - in fact it often backfires. Saying 'calm down" makes us believe that were are doing something wrong and need to get rid of the nervous signals. Instead of calming down, what we should do is check in with the signals, recognize that they are there and that you body is providing those because it is excited for a big moment. So acknowledge you are excited (in fact saying "I'm excited" has been shown to be the #1 approach to helping your body actually get ready to perform well). So, again, acknowledge that you are excited. Next, stand upright and tall, these changes in body posture physically help you prepare and send signals to the mind that you are in control not the nerves. Then smile, joke, and laugh with friends and competitors instead of isolating and shrinking away. Next, acknowledge that it will be hard but you have put in the hard work and are prepared. All these steps help you label the feelings and tame them as you say what you are feeling and experiencing the emotions for what they are there to prepare you for. And finally, go preform to the best of your abilities for the day.
Use these steps to help your perform better in stressful and nervous settings like these last couple meets. Let's have a fun championship season and go take what we (each of us individually and as a TEAM) have earned!
