Age doesn't matter. Skill does. And you are WAY more skilled than a lot of us here...and you are both trash in comps. Dropping from my level to Felixs level in just 4 years is insanely impressive. Hats off to you Caleb!
honestly i am trash in comps
i need a literal one second allowance for my averages if i want to be confident that i can get x average
Like if i want to be confident that i can get a sub-8 average through all three rounds i need to average 6 at home because i become one second slower in comp
well that’s except if i have no nerves at the comp
wasn’t sure if saying comp nerves actually affected performance so I asked Microsoft copilot to respond if that’s ok
Hey, I’m Microsoft Copilot. When you keep telling yourself you’ll be nervous in comps, your brain actually creates more nerves and slows you down. If you go in with confidence instead, you’ll stay calmer and perform much closer to your real skill level.
and then when i get a bad result when i was confident i will feel bad
hmm idk if i have nerves my hands will shake and cubing requires my hands so i really wonder if that affects performance
i wish my nerves would go back to the way they were at my first comp
