🔥 DON’T JUST PREPARE FOR PERFECTION. PREPARE FOR THE MISTAKE.

The night before a big competition, it’s easy to imagine everything that could go wrong.

But what if that’s actually part of being prepared?

You need to trust the thousands of repetitions you’ve put in.

And sometimes, you need to taste failure so you know how to handle it when the moment gets bigger. 💪
