Tournament Preparation
Strategy
Matt M Asked 9 years ago
Hi guys, I'm just wondering if you could give me some tips on preparing for an upcoming tournament that will take place for several hours, some of the things I am thinking about is nutrition before and during, as well as cardio preperation, and on table drills for the week coming up to the tournament.
Thankyou. Matt.
p.s friday funny's was very disappointing last week, it was certainly not up to its usual high standards and I am hoping Jeff will be better prepared for the next one! ;)
