Answer:  Some important things to remember are to train hard, but dont overtrain.  Try to set up your training regiment so that you peak right around the time of the competition.  It’s a really miserable feeling burning out before your tournament, so try to pay attention to your body.  Also, the hardest part of competition training (for me, at least) is maintaining a healthy diet.  You have to stay away from fast foods and alcohol as much as possible.  As far as technique, focus on your “A game”, meaning do what you do best.  Don’t try any techniques that you dont use everyday in training. Since you can’t possibly know everyone you are going to compete against, it is important to impose your game on everyone.  If you force them to play your game, it will take them out of their comfort zone, therefore, they will not be able to use their A-game.  If you have any specific questions, let me know. This is a very broad area “competition strategies and techniques”.
