Idea Of Time And Pacing

A drill I do with some of my students/clients is; I will tell them we are going to do a ten minute round. Once they begin I stop them at three minutes. This is especially good for round robins.

What happens is, they go at a ten minute pace, without realizing it's just really a three minute round. If I tell them it's a three minute round, they will go at that pace.

I explain this idea to them and have them go again, now knowing it's a three minute round. They start to control their breathing, and control the pace and tempo.
