Eleven Ways to Guarantee a Performance Failure

1. Make this performance special- believe it is different than all other performances.
2. Use phrases like “It’s now or never,” “this is it,” and “do or die!”
3. Get involved in the hype: read the newspapers, forums, rankings, predictions, and seedings.
4. As often as possible, think about both the short-term and long-term implications about this performance.
5. As often as possible, think about past poor performances and mistakes as well as all your current imperfections.
6. Make sure to try especially hard in this performance.
7. Take this performance very seriously, have no sense of humor, and never smile.
8. Care deeply how other people will view your performance.
9. Be negative, even when it is difficult to do so.
10. Be Realistic: Who are you to succeed?
11. Only train yourself physically, performance has nothing to do with your mindset.
