This is a great article and makes a lot of very good points. I really liked, "I had to practice what I would do in a scenario like this, basically putting myself into a competition mindset..."
That is definitely true. As a matter of fact cognitive scientists have discovered that the way people practice is what makes them pro or stay amateur. They discovered that amateurs would practice what they can already do, but pros practice the things they cannot do. There's a great book all about this called The Talent Code -- Greatness Isn't Born. It's Grown. Here's How - amazon link.
Thanks for sharing this. Really great.
