Takeaways
- Warming up before a performance is a personal preference; what works for one person may not work for another.
- The mental state plays a significant role in performance; sometimes, overthinking or putting too much pressure on oneself can hinder performance.

- Physical warm-up exercises can help with mobility and flexibility but may not necessarily improve performance.
- Finding the right balance between physical warm-up and mental preparation is crucial.
