Serve Routines in 5 easy steps
1. Go to the B.A.R. (Breathe and Release)

This helps with understanding your last play, your game plan and visualisation of the next step

This is to happen only when (and only when) you have a clear, concise idea of your next play
4. Visualise to Realise
Understand what your mind sees your body will adhere to
5. Let it rip
One last power breath and do not wait a moment longer, go for it
