Of course, there is the everyday on-ice training and mental prep with visualization, off ice training, diet etc., but once that is done, how do you call upon “your best” at the actual moment it is needed under pressure? During my early years with Kung Fu, I learned there are two types of fighters, the Interceptor and the Hunter. When it comes down to it, no matter how you train, you will eventually be revealed as one of the two. My Kung Fu instructor is an Interceptor and I am a Hunter. The Interceptor sees the opponent’s attack and spots the opening to counter and use the attack against them. The Hunter will create or make the opening in the opponent’s defences to land the blow. There are times when an Interceptor will adapt and use the Hunter’s approach and vice versa but there is only one at your core. In skating, there are two types of athletes, the Warrior and the Performer. The Warrior is all about the competition and uses it to test themselves under pressure and the Performer is all about the self-expression in front of an audience. Now the Warrior will learn whatever they need to be successful because they will fight to win and push themselves to the limit to achieve their goals, like learning a technique or skill. A performer is all about self-expression but can also tap into the Warrior aspect of themselves if guided. The Warrior aspect comes into play when we are put under pressure. Being under pressure means to perform a skill or achieve a goal that you value at the precise moment it is needed, at which time, there are consequences for not performing at that specific moment to your highest level. However, even your highest level may not be enough to achieve your wanted result. #skatecanada #skateontario #warrior #athlete」8月27日 0時26分
