Re: [ECDU]: after matches
I usually just try to assess the damage on our bot, and our opponents, and see where i can help out. Normally at some point during that, my coach or the engineers will come over and discuss strategy, problems, or anythign really. I normally just zone out after that until about 20 mins before a round, i go out and scout the opponents for the next round, and then talk to our alliance partner. And anywhere in between if i see someone i know ill talk to em, or people that i want to talk to but never have.
Just when i zone out, its kind of like meditation, i let nothing bother me whatsoever. Sometimes ill just sit in the pit, or ill just start to go walk around. At nationals i was able to find small little areas where i could be alone and just sit and think and plan my next round, and try not to get made fun of by my team, for an infinite amount of things.
Then when i go to the queue or im at the control station, i try to keep my anxiety down, and just do some small stretches of my legs, or jogging in place. And i dont really talk-i just keep to myself and zone out the crowd and my coach lol. I try not to be bothered by others voices, although i am paying attention, to what they are saying, i dont pick up any tones or side chatter. and then i just play the match out in my head, but i plan on everything going wrong.

If you do say something that isn't just for fun or praising something, which hopefully you do, just be prepared to back up what you said.

Anything that I post is an opinion from my own mind. Some may agree with it, others may not. However do not negatively associate anyone else, including any team I work with, with my opinion.
