THE STRESS MANAGEMENT ACCORDING LAURA VALETTE ?

Stress management varies greatly from person to person. Some will want to remove all the stress to focus only on the technical points. On my side, I put into practice what I have prepared with my mental coach: I increase this stress to perform better. When you manage your stress well, it can be very positive. We see it especially during the big finals, the athletes perform well and achieve good times. It means that when people are well stressed and they manage it correctly, this stress allows them to perform well.

PRODUCT ASSOCIATED WITH LAURA VALETTE

I use the KEY ONE for storage, they are always nested on my tips, for convenience and to limit the wear of my tips. But also for the comfort of not having the spikes in my back when I carry my bag and not having to remove the spikes each time I go to the bathroom, and as I go regularly … What I like most about this product is its practicality, it makes my life so much easier, it avoids having to think about all the usual “logistics”: wondering whether I go to the bathroom or not by risk of being late if I remove my spikes so as not to fall?
