I'm scared for my Track&Field time trials tomorrow?
Running is a very mental activity, more so than most people realize, it's almost as much mental as it is physical. You can't let you mentality affect your performance, which it definitely can. This girl, is a runner just like you and she's two years younger than you which means that she's probably not as experienced as you. But even if she beats you there's no reason to be embarrassed, she just a really good runner. Obviously since you're the fastest runner on your XC team you are too, you should be able to appreciate someone who has talent. The great thing about having someone who runs at your level is that the rivalry forces you to work harder in practice and during meets. In the end this could actually be very beneficial to your running, because the harder you work the better you're going to become. You guys can help each other become faster and stronger runners. Now remember, don't be intimidated by this girl tomorrow. Be confident in yourself, you're a good runner. Then, once you start racing it's important to not let your mentality shift during the run, you've got to stay focused. If you start thinking about how fast the other girl is, or how bad you're hurting, how much you just want to be done, and how exhausted you are, your race is going to suffer. You must stay focused, if you go into the race with the mentality of, "I'm going to work until the end" you'll be much more motivated to work hard and by the end of the race it won't matter if the girl beats you, because you know you worked your hardest and that's all you can ask from yourself. Hope that helps. Remember, work hard and don't be afraid. Good luck tomorrow and feel free to message me if you have anymore questions!
I have my girl thing, should I NOT go to XC practice tomorrow?
You can't skip practice every time you have your period. Just wear a pad. It'll probably suck more than normal but just take midol of something if you get cramps. But yeah it could slow down later or not come at all... I havent had mine for 3 months since i started running
I have an exam tomorrow and i'm so scared ?
I would actually recommend taking a small break and then go back to studying. I know right now you feel like you can't remember anything. But having studied for six hours he probably actually know quite a bit. I would also recommend getting up early before school tomorrow and studying for an hour or two, still try to get plenty of rest. Think about it this way, it is almost the end of the semester and you are very close to having winter break. Also, everyone on Yahoo answers has failed a test. And most of us can't even tell you what test we were freaking out over or how badly we did. Tomorrow when you're taking the test. Try to remain calm throughout the test start by answering all the questions you know first, so that you can build your confidence. If you happen to see some you don't know don't think about them too much until you have gone through and answered all that you do now. Because if you are worried about what you do not know you will probably just make yourself more nervous. Personally I have failed several math test, I know I freaked out over a lot of them but now that I've graduated all I can really tell you is I never want to take math again. Good luck-just try to remain calm while you are studying, more of what you are studying will sink in. And try to remain calm when you are taking the test answering everything you know first.
Tomorrow I have an exam. I'm so tense. What can I do?
This is what I did (and maintained a 4.0 GPA in Grad School).Deep breathing! If you’ve been doing your studies and your homework, now is not the time to do any more studying. Instead, take a few minutes to digest what you’ve learned and then set it aside. You can’t cram. Cramming can be detrimental to your exam grade. If you haven’t been studying and learning this whole time, you’re not going to learn it in one night. Your brain will fry and you’ll be more likely to bomb.Instead, do a short review of what you know might be on the exam.Then, the hard part.Forget about it. Play a game, chat with some friends, watch a couple of YouTube videos, and basically relax. If you feel anxiety come up again, remind yourself you’ve done all you can do to study, and take another deep breath.Get GOOD rest. Do what you like to put yourself in a blissful state before bedtime, and then sleep. Get your normal amount if possible (6–9 hours). Going into your exam fatigued won’t help.Drink coffee or strong tea when you first wake up (if you can have caffeine). Give yourself an hour to wake up. Eat breakfast if you can, or have something handy that will give you a quick sugar rush beforehand (I always ate something sugary ten minutes before the exam so I’d have a rush of glucose to sustain me).A few minutes before the exam, do a quick review to remind yourself of the topics and focus your brain on your next task.I don’t know if this will help you or not, but it was my ritual throughout graduate school and the lowest grade I ever recall getting was a 92/100 on my final exam.Good luck!
I am having a physics exam tomorrow and I haven't studied yet. What to do?
I can understand that you’re worried. The first thing that you have to do is calm down. I had the same worry back when I was in my 12th grade. I had to study for a chemistry test and I hadn’t prepared. I just had the night to study. I was scared of failing. I hadn’t failed before but it seemed like I would. There was no way for me or so I thought. It took me an hour to realise something. I had an entire night! This was around 7 PM and I think the test was at 9 AM. So I had around 9 hours. If I spent 1 hours per chapter (I had eight) and spent five hours sleeping I could manage to scrape by. Then I decided to make a call. I called a friend and spoke for ten minutes. I had to distract myself a bit and calm down. I was fretting but speaking to someone and letting out my worries helped (I wouldn’t suggest talking to a classmate or you’ll just end up getting even more worried). Eventually I decided that it’s more effective to focus on the chapters I felt confident in and just skim through the others. In the end I did pass but not with flying colours.So,Stop worrying about the marksTake a deep breath, it isn’t the end of the world (even though it might seem so)Plan and allocate the time you have for each chapter (take the ones you find easy first and then tackle the harder ones)Sleep well for at least 7 hours (no amount of studying will be fruitful if you don’t sleep)Some chapters are more of theory and rote learning. If you’re good at that stuff then take those out first then try the others. You shouldn’t feel frustrated. If you are more mathematically inclined then do the sums first.Talk to someone who you feel relaxed aroundGo write the paper with a smile.Don’t worry about the results if they aren’t great but always know you gave it your best.
Tomorrow is my physics exam. I am afraid of getting low marks. What should I do?
Don't panic!! Even if you studied in last few days for your exams, it is fine unless you want to score 90+ (even this is possible if you have got a beastly luck).As a matter of fact, even those people who studied whole year will admit how important are 4 days prior to exams. You just have to remember the concept (no examples and deep details attached to it).Just relax and find a lonely place (with no distractions) like some empty room or may be store room.Sit on the mat and surround yourself with all important notes/books.Revised all your concepts (just concepts, no questions related to them). It will probably take 3 or less days.Now the main part. Open 5 previous year paper and analyze type of question asked and most important ones that frequently repeat. Note down your research simultaneously.Now that you know the concepts and important questions, chill down. You have all things covered. Just stick to imp's you have analysed and work hard on them. Don't try to study the full syllabus.Just before exam, give a fast look at concepts and imp's.Congratulations- you made it :)
Time trial for cross country!?
eat some pasta for dinner tonight, then just eat healthy tomorrow or like you usually do before races and you should be fine. everyone gets nervous, but just drink alot of water throughout the day and tell yourself that you can do this and it will be a hard race, but you can do it because you trained and prepared for it. you should never give up in a race unless you feel your health is in grave danger...it shows perserverence, plus it is embarrassing to quit a race! just use that to keep yourself going and around the end of mile 2 tell yourself how hard you've worked so far and that if you keep going strong for the next mile and that last stretch and get a good time it will be totally worth the effort in the race. good luck!
How can I reduce nervousness before a cross country race?
Visualize the race beforehand, but on race day, just let it go. Visualize the start, the splits, and most importantly, your finish.It is important to stay loose and relaxed right before a race, smile and laugh a little bit. Usain Bolt is one of most relaxed runners out there, but in his race, it is over in less than ten seconds, far more important than a 5 kilometer or 3 mile cross-country race.I was reading in Chris Lear’s book Running With the Buffaloes, the coach for the team, Mark Wetmore, told his best runner who was one of the favorites to win the NCAA Championships in Cross Country, “trust in your training”. I think this is extremely important, and I am personally going to carry it into my next meet, which is the State Qualifier.I have won the majority of my XC races this season as a sophomore, and I am excited for State. After I had been beaten by one of my team mates, I visualized the main parts of the upcoming race in my mind like where I was going to pass, surge, and take the win. It worked like a charm, and I executed perfectly, going for the lead right when I said I would take it, and I won the Region Championships and set a 10 second PR of 16:39, where before I had only run a 17:01 on the same course.Once you get on the line, the hard part is already over — the grind of training. Now, just think to yourself, it’s time to execute.
