When the Sooners open up their season on January 12 at the Rocky Mountain Open, they won’t look all that different from the team that secured a fourth-straight NCAA title in 2018. For anyone in the NCAA with aspirations of dethroning the champs, that spells bad news. …

“You know, we’re only losing four scores from NCAA’s last year and Matt Wenske is coming back to full health, which will be big,” explained head coach Mark Williams.

College MENTAL prep for meets

Caroline Caponi | JR | William & Mary:

… focus on having fun and rely on my training to take care of the rest.

I talk and joke around with my teammates and always listen to the same pump-up playlist. Before I compete each event, I do one mental set in my head and take a big, deep breath that helps me calm my meet nerves. …

Skyler Memmel | SR | Central Michigan University:

“The night before a meet, I always do mental imagery of my routines and imagine myself in the arena I’ll be competing in.

The day of the meet, I love getting hyped up to music and doing makeup and hair with all my teammates and setting the positive energy.

Before warm-ups I go to the beam and listen to the same songs while I do a mental set/dance-through next to the beam.

… I always at least do one beam routine on the floor before I go and a mental set right before I go.”
