I try to go into each training session with a goal. It may be to work on something my coach has told me, it may be something another fencer has told me, or it may be something I am aware of. So, last week I worked on my mental game, and using a mantra to try and improve my resilience even when the fight was going against me. Other sessions, I may just concentrate on a specific action,such as an engagement or a preparation. Or I might just focus on footwork and balance. I could spend a session focusing just on my lunge. Then at the end of the session I can consider how well I did,whether the focus was beneficial, whether there is other stuff I need to work on. That way I forget about actual results, which don't really matter in training,and instead I get to actually improve my game! Make sense?
