    On the contrary I could also say don't focus too much. At my last comp I went into my 3x3 average with some expectations but not much pressure, I didn't really concentrate too hard, but I kept myself aware of pretty much only the current solve. I did ask my friend about their times and stuff, and that kind of helped me not think too much about my solves. That was an official PB avg. These are two ways to tackle comp pressure and I would say yours would work better in a finals like scenario where as mine is better for preliminary rounds. Great advice, Brody!
    P.S I really like that kinda 'wipe away your thoughts' gesture

    • @BrodytheCuber
      @BrodytheCuber  5 лет назад

      If you ask your friends about their times, and you know that you're doing it in a casual friendly way instead of a competitive way, then that could definitely help. So you're right, my strategy is most fit for finals and things like that

    Hey brody am cubing for like 2 and a half months and i average around like 23 to 24 seconds. My times dropped really fast but now am kinda struggling to break the sub 20 barrier
    I use advanced and efficient f2l.My lookahead is kinda bad so i solve on a tps of 3.i use 2look oll and full pll except ga gb gd and n perms. Also my finger tricks are good and i solve the cross in under 8 moves and till then i lookahead to my first pair.
    I practice everyday and at least do a ao50.
    What should i do now?
    Also congrats for your win and thanks for such a important video.😄😃

    • @BrodytheCuber
      @BrodytheCuber  5 лет назад

    @ricardiomilos7204 5 лет назад

    I got a theory why kids are faster than adults/teens. In my theory I find that as a kid you don't that have that many things to care about and your mind isn't that full of school yet, also when you're a kid and solve in a classroom you're gonna get attention and that leads to teaching others and having a race with them. Somehow racing with other people is more productive than solving by yourself

    • @BrodytheCuber
      @BrodytheCuber  5 лет назад

      You're right, but it's also harder for a young kid to have the discipline to learn F2L and learn everything else. So kids can be faster, but it's harder for them to get to that point
