This episode draws on a comprehensive analysis of fencers' stories and insights from various sources, including forums, websites, and Reddit, tailored for a US-based audience of fencers, their parents, and veteran fencers. We aim to offer a rich understanding of the mental game through personal experiences and expert perspectives. As Dr. Alan Goldberg from the Academy of Fencing Masters notes, while practice might be 95% physical and 5% mental, in competition, those percentages flip, making success 95% mental and 5% physical.
Tune in to learn practical strategies and gain a deeper appreciation for the mental fortitude required to excel in fencing.
