  • Question
    I am a competitive swimmer, and I usually do very well in competitions, but when it comes to higher levels like nationals, I get frightened and lose my balance in my sidekicks. What should I do?
    Community Answer
    Work your core out. Doing a side kick involves stomach strength. Do sit-ups, double leg raises, or find other things to strengthen your core on the internet. Also, don't let the pressure get to you. Don't think about the stakes when you're swimming. Pretend like nationals are just any ordinary competition so you don't get psyched out.

    Do it fast, smooth, and stop your bones at the moment. It looks beautiful when you do it fast, but show every move.

    Practice the techniques, making sure you are keeping a correct stance, etc. Practice each part to develop fluency. Completely lock the leg or arm, flicking a kick or punch will feel like a massage or tickling, no matter how strong you think you are. Eventually, through practice, you will get better and develop power in not only your forms, but in sparring and throughout Taekwondo.

    Try to ignore the audience and focus on the task at hand. During testing, concentrate on the speed of the count and your surroundings. Apply a similar tactic at tournaments by focusing on yourself, those around you, and the event itself to minimize mistakes.
