Scout the Meta
Study the leaderboard distribution. Most players spike scores on weekends, so sneaking in clean weekday runs can move you up with less competition.
Track rival streaks and average improvements to predict what score you need before season close.
Pace Your Attempts
Break attempts into waves: warmup runs, scoring runs, and clutch attempts. Log hardware, time of day, and readiness so you can reproduce peak states.
Never chase scores when fatigued; it tanks accuracy and morale. Instead, switch to prep work (mobility, film review) and attack the next day.
Stay Mentally Sharp
Use visualization before big attempts, rehearse success, and plan fallback actions if a run goes sideways. Confidence keeps your nervous system relaxed and fast.
Celebrate micro-wins, not just rank jumps. The dopamine keeps training fun and sustainable.
