To Ti-Yogi!

As we are about to head out to ti-yogi for our first official team competition this year - there are many things that an archer must prepare for to get yourself ready for competition.
1) First and THE MOST important - A good nights sleep
- Last night at 4:30am i fell victim to a real fire alarm in my building where we were outside for about 20 minutes while fire marshals/police/and RHDs find the ass hat who decided to light a few buds up in his room. A disturbed sleeping schedule for an archer... no... for any athlete is a offense punishable by death in my eyes. An athlete MUST be about to get a good nights rest or else everything will fall apart as soon as you begin. I cannot stress this enough.
2) A good breakfast - Think back to your elementary school days where they stressed that breakfast is your most important meal of the day. Back then, i thought they were trolling us, but as i grew older, i found out that it was indeed THE MOST important meal of the day. Breakfast jump starts your metabolism for the day. If it were not for breakfast, you would be slumping around the whole day. Very bad on competition day.
Can't think of any more right now because i'm short on time and need to be at the Student Activities Center in about half an hour to meet up with my fellow archers.
But one last note before i go:
Stay calm. You cannot be too excited in archery. Focus each shot.
BE BACK TONIGHT!
