Olympian Explains Why He Never Studies Opponents Until Morning of Competition
On Purpose with Jay Shetty
Miles Chamley-Watson: #1 Mindset Shift That Changes Everything (Try THIS to Stay Sharp, Focused, and In Control)
What was said
"I don't know who I fence until the morning. I don't know how I'm gonna fence until I'm on the strip, which is kind of crazy. Because one time I knew and I couldn't sleep, and then I'm envisioning in my head, and I wake up and I'm tired. At the end of the day, if I don't know what I'm gonna do fencing, how the hell could you plan for me?"
Chamlee-Watson revealed his unusual preparation strategy of refusing to analyze opponents or watch fencing footage until the morning of competition. After losing sleep from over-preparation early in his career, he adopted a policy of not knowing who he will face, spending time walking cities instead of visiting venues, and never discussing fencing before events. He believes his unpredictability is his strategic advantage.
