Development

So today was the 1st development meet for the year and I must say I'm really not pleased with my result. Though I was placed third and it's my 1st year in the under 20 age category, I think I could have done much better.
Honestly I see myself throwing further while at general practice sessions. I threw 12.01 meters and whilst at training I've thrown further. Would I say I allowed my nerves to get the best of me? Most definitely! Something about competing just makes my muscles feel so weak and I get extremely nervous it shows in my throws.
I'm not going to conclude by saying 12.01 meters is my personal best. I think many things today wasn't done properly. The time taken for me to warm up was so minimal I literally felt cold while throwing. The amount of throws that was being recorded was only three (3) so I didn't gain any momentum. My warm up throws were only about three backward throws, a forward throw and a general standing throw. Not to mention I glided and had no warm up throws while gliding.
I'm not gonna let this bring me down though, because I know what I'm capable of and when the next development meet arises I will know what has to be done. I'm using this as a learning experience and hopefully I would get accustomed and not be a nervous wreck. I'm ready for what is to come and every other obstacle I have to overcome
