Training & Habits
Should I study on the bus to a competition?
Rhema Adelaja · National Champion & 4x DUX
Usually no. When you travel to compete, protect that time so you arrive ready: music, quiet, or a conversation that has nothing to do with school. When you travel to school, use the time to study.
The answer
- Before you leave, decide which trip it is: a trip to compete or a trip to school.
- Trip to compete: keep the textbook in your bag. Choose music, silence, or an easy conversation.
- Trip to school: use it. Pick one small task and do it.
- Think of the ride to a competition as part of your warm-up, not a study session.
