Mental preparation is indeed a crucial aspect of sports and athletics. It's not just about physical training, but also about developing mental strength and stability. You can start by incorporating breathing techniques and calming practices into your pre-game or pre-practice routine to help center yourself and focus. Time management is also important for student athletes, as it allows you to balance your academic and athletic commitments effectively. Additionally, believing in yourself and staying focused on your goals is essential.

Finally, remember to stay determined and work hard towards achieving your goals.
