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.
  • Being relaxed and in a good frame of mind can lead to better performances.
  • 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.
