He said he also told the athletes what to expect during the competition, and he wants to make sure they are well prepared for the events they will participate.
Before the competition, the training, Rangamar said are going to be light and easy and concentrate more on technique. All athletes must agree with their coach that the objectives of the competition will be focus and performance.
During the competition, they should avoid competitors as much as possible. They can speak to them after the event.
They should also spend in a appropriate time to conduct relaxation and mental rehearsal, and report at the right time to the collection point of events.
After the competition, Rangamar advised the athletes to congratulate their competitors, thank the officials and evaluate the performance with the coach.
