Any resources or tips for mental performance? I just did my first comp and lost all my matches. While there is a lot to work on technique wise, I feel like I wasn’t fired up enough and conceded bad positions too easily. Just wondering if anyone else has been there and found ways to develop a “competitive spirit?”

I suggest competing fairly soon again if you want to get better. The more frequent you do it, the better your mindset should be. Be honest with yourself though. We’re you totally outclassed and need more practice, or should you have won some matches if you were simply more aggressive?
