Details
Task-focused preparation involves breaking competitive play into small mental tasks that can be addressed one at a time. Rather than preparing emotionally or motivationally, players use simple cognitive sequences.
Examples include: organize gear, confirm field layout priorities, plan early observations, and establish communication expectations. Organizing these tasks reduces uncertainty and creates a predictable mental pathway into competition.
