205 - Finding Your Ideal Level of Intensity for Performance

How fired up should you be during a roller derby game? As athletes, it's easy to believe that more intensity will equal better performance...but only to a point. In this episode, we're talking about emotional regulation and finding your ideal place on the "hype meter." Too low, and you may struggle with energy, engagement, and hustle. Too high, and the boost of adrenaline can lead to tunnel vision, reckless play, poor decision-making, and costly penalties.Let's explore why every skater has a different optimal performance zone, how to recognize when you're over- or under-activated, and practical strategies for bringing yourself to the level where you play your best.Photo by Lost Creek StudioPodcast logo by Liz Mac Intyre ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@lizzyluscious⁠⁠ Follow our facebook page at ⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/powerthru4thwhistle/⁠⁠And on IG ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/power4thwhistle/⁠⁠Interested in sponsoring the podcast?
