And you should work a lot on the basics, starting with slow deliberate movements while increasing the speed and maintaining control and smooth movement. If you look at a sprinter breaking the tape at the finish line, you will see more winners with a relaxed facial expression than a face reflecting stress. Relaxation equals smooth working muscles and smooth actions equals speed. There is a law of the mind called The Harder You Try to do Something the Harder it is.

I tried it and to tell you the truth, it’s very hard to do both at the same time. Give a 110% and you will be a winner! In the same breath, they would tell you to stay relaxed. After all that’s what all the sports psychologist say in their books and CDs.
