The Open season is coming! Whether you’re a seasoned competitor or a beginner, proper preparation is the key to success. Here are some essential tips to help you perform at your best with a simple plan.
📈 TRACK YOUR PROGRESS
Take a moment to reflect on your training since the last Open. 💭 Identify areas where you’ve improved and those that still need work. This will help you adjust your training strategy and set realistic expectations.
⚡ DAILY IMPROVEMENTS MATTER
The time before a competition can shake your confidence. 😬 Remember: the Open is a marathon, not a sprint. Every little progress counts! 💪
😴 RECOVERY IS KEY
Good training = positive stress 💥 → Your body recovers 🛌 → You improve 📈.
The excitement of the Open may tempt you to overtrain. Don’t neglect recovery, or you might end up disappointed in your performance. Better to arrive fresh and ready than exhausted!
🎯 SET YOUR GOALS
Success in sports is personal. Set your own goals for the Open based on your past performances and progress.
You need two types of goals:
✅ A final goal (e.g., complete a WOD RX, beat last year’s score, etc.)
✅ Workout-specific goals (e.g., pacing strategy, lifting a certain weight, etc.)
📅 PLAN YOUR SEASON
Organize your training schedule 📆:
🕒 When and at what time will you train?
💡 What strategy will you follow?
Good planning = better mental and physical preparation!
👀 FIND YOUR JUDGE
Having someone to support you can make a huge difference! Choose a judge who:
✅ Enforces the standards ✅ Encourages and motivates you
A great judge = better performance and an overall better experience!
