Five random things John picked up from a\xa0 recent talk by by Ken Ravizza
1. It\u2019s good to have crap days \u2013 you can learn a lot more from crap days than when you are \u201cin the zone?.
2. Back Briefing (feedback) always ask yourself what you got out of a session/race
3. \u201cBe big? on race day. Physical presence and how you carry yourself can help your state of mind and intimidate others (baseball example)
4. Only train when you are \u201cready? (gate example)
5. Focus on the process of engaging in the activity rather than the outcomes of your performance
