I thougt you graduated the sub 14 and 13 thread?

 

[cubeshepherd]

I thougt you graduated the sub 14 and 13 thread?

I did. But after all the hate that I have gotten from members on these forums, I started practicing different and I changed things up to make make practice at home more like a competition, and therefore be able to eventually get over being nervous and hopefully get the same times that I can at home in a competition, and show everyone that does not believe me that I CAN get good times.

Well Good Luck, cant wait to see you back in the next race thread. also what is your setup?

Well Good Luck, cant wait to see you back in the next race thread. also what is your setup?

Thanks. At the moment I have switched several things up namely:
1) I changed seating from chair that I was using to a bench because the bench is a little lower and closer to what is at some competitions, and for some reason my look ahead is worse sitting lower, and so I am working on doing under the table solves, which has been helping a bit.
2) When I am just practicing, I am only doing a Ao5 and pretending that those are the only solves I can do, and if my times are not good then I will not make it to the next round. This has helped me because at competitions I would focus on thinking if I would make it to the next round, rather then focus on the solve and not worry about the times. Also, I am using a cube cover, setting up things like it is at competitions, such as things on the table, the way I warm up right before a solve/get ready for a solve.
3) I have a crowd white noise and a cube turning white noise playing "in the back round" like you would hear at competitions. This has helped because I can lose focus on the solve and get distracted when I hear someone say something, so in order for me to drown that out I am having things playing.
4) I have and will continue to practice more in public and try to not think/worry about people watching me (which gets me really nervous), but rather just work on focusing on the solve and not thinking about anyone or anything around me.

These are the main things at the moment that I am trying/working on and so far it is helping a bit, so hopefully I am better at my next competition.

Hi! I've graduated from this thread a while ago, I decided to return to pursue my goals to be full CN. Currently I'm DCN so I'll try to work out for the rest 4 crosses. Wish me luck!

Hopefully this is still going, I graduated a while back but have plateaued at around 14.5 - trying now to become CN from green only. I'm working on the basis of whatever colour is on FUL is the cross I'll do, unless there's an obvious cross on another colour. =P
