Planning is a crucial part of performance success and it’s important for you to take responsibility for your preparation with the help of your parents and coaches. In this lesson, you will learn how to:

• Progressively increase your ability to plan, organise and take responsibility for event preparation
• Manage performance anxiety through adequate preparation.

We encourage you to practice the preparation process as often as possible with your parents and coaches by visiting the venue, recording distances and travel time, and conducting a full trial of the event in advance. You can record all this information on the planning page.

This lesson includes a three-minute video and a downloadable document. It can be used on its own or as part of the Power Up performance psychology program that contains six lessons.
