Competition Conditions Audit

Rate Your Practice

For each of the 5 competition elements, rate how often this condition is present in your current practice sessions. 0 = never present, 10 = always present.

⚡ Pressure 5

Scores are tracked, mistakes have consequences, something is on the line — like it matters.

NeverAlways

🧠 Decision-Making 5

You face real, unscripted choices under time and uncertainty — not just executing a pre-set pattern.

NeverAlways

🔥 Fatigue 5

You execute your key skills when your body or mind is already tired — like it is in the 4th quarter.

NeverAlways

📢 Distraction 5

Chaos exists: noise, people watching, coaches shouting, unpredictable inputs — your focus is tested.

NeverAlways

🎲 Variability 5

Conditions, scenarios, and challenges change regularly — practice never feels routine or predictable.

Your Audit Results

Practice vs. Competition Snapshot

How much of competition you're currently training for — by element.

0–3

This element is absent — a real vulnerability

4–6

Occasionally present — needs deliberate focus

7–10

Well-trained — competition won't surprise you here

Your Practice Design

The 20–30% Rule

You don't need to make every practice exhausting. The research says 20–30% of your total practice time in competition conditions is enough to close the gap.

One session per week with deliberate competition conditions changes what competition feels like. Over time, pressure stops feeling foreign — it just feels like another day of training.
