Summary

This week I talk strategies for overcoming pre-race jitters and nervousness with Kenneth Yee. When you travel all of the way from Malaysia for a first time visit to a country, a lot is at stake because a lot has been expended. So the last thing you need is to be dealing with energy robbing nervousness on top of all of the other moving pieces associated with racing.

TAKE AWAY POINTS:

Ask for advice from more well traveled athletes on their tactics
Concerns about temperature changes between countries
Catching up on sleep ASAP so leave enough time in your travel schedule
