Fight for Peace – What Should You Say Before Competition? 17 Sep 26 - Webinar
2026-09-17 12:00 - 13:00 | West Midlands
Date / Time:
17 September 2026 12:00-13:00 online
Overview:
Jas Basnal-McNulty (SEPiT) shares quick tools and routines for coaches to build athlete confidence and beat pre-fight nerves.
Many combat sport coaches receive extensive training in technical and physical coaching but little or no training in sport psychology.
When athletes are nervous, doubting themselves or under pressure before competition, coaches are often expected to know exactly what to say. However, even well-intentioned comments can sometimes increase pressure rather than build confidence.
Most grassroots clubs do not have access to a sport psychologist, and coaches rarely have the time to study performance psychology in depth.
This practical webinar, led by Sport and Exercise Psychologist in training (SEPiT) Jas Basnal-McNulty, will provide simple tools that coaches can use immediately to help athletes respond positively to pressure and perform at their best.
The session will explore how coaches can use their language, feedback and routines to help athletes interpret nerves and pressure as something to embrace rather than fear.
Through practical examples and coaching scenarios, you’ll learn how small changes in communication can make a big difference to athlete confidence, focus and performance.
What you’ll learn:
What to say when an athlete is nervous before competition
How to help athletes turn nerves into confidence and focus
Common coaching phrases that can accidentally add pressure – and what to say instead
Simple techniques to keep athletes calm, composed and ready to perform
How to communicate effectively before, during and after competition
Practical tools you can use immediately with athletes in training and at events

Competitive and technical skills examinations will be conducted during the course, but you will need to have completed some prior preparation if you wish to be examined on the day. To be examined on the day, you must have selected your Performance Skills techniques (Sections 3 to 5) before attending. Players are of course welcome to attend the course and arrange examination at a later date.

The 20 Kodokan techniques required for 1st and 2nd dan (at a minimum) will be covered. The techniques covered will be tailored to the grades of players attending the course.

Sections 3, 4 and 5: Performance Skills

A variety of examples of combinations, counters, escapes, complex entries and transitions from nage-waza to katame-waza will be demonstrated. A workshop-style format will be used to support players to develop their own performance skills, or to practise their chosen skills if these have been selected before attending the course.

Competitive and Technical Skills Examinations

Please note that the kata requirements for grading will not be covered during the course. If you would like to be examined for L1 or L2 nage-no-kata or katame-no-kata on the day, please let us know in advance.
