Time management plays an important role in how you prepare for and perform in ballroom dance competitions. Having a competition preparation routine helps manage performance anxiety, recover from mishaps, reset quickly, and handle unexpected situations. Creating and using competition routines takes time, but it is essential for success. Self-awareness is key in understanding what you need to do to feel physically and mentally ready to compete. Time management is crucial in executing all the necessary tasks and creating a competition day schedule.
