Ok assuming you are part of the real world and race on the street where they dont have a tree, sorry race chick. There are several things you can do to improve launch i have had a 89 mustang gt and i didnt do alot to the engine at first it was all about suspension and other things to get me off the line faster the first thing i done was put in a trunk mount battery kit to help waight transfer then 40/60 drag shocks fron edlebrock and eiback 1" lowering springs in the rear also i ran a pair of Nitto drag Radials and 3.73:1 rear gears you can email me @ williamb606@yahoo for specifics

Eat a light meal, with mostly carbs (bagel, banana, toast, the like).\n\nHydrate well, starting the night before, and well (perhaps a couple hours) before the race.  Try to relieve your bladder before the race.  Don't pound water up until race time.  Lay off...\n\nBefore the race, warm up by jogging a bit.  Stretch only after you are warmed up.\n\nGet plenty of sleep.\n\nAt the race, don't blow up in the first mile.  Let some else paceset, and draft behind people.  Plan your race according to your strengths.  If you are good at hills, lay back until they come.  If you like to open it up on the flat, plan accordingly.  Keep some reserve for a strong finish.\n\nIf this is your first race, do what you can to stay with the pack, while listening to your body.  The stamina you look for will come in time.  For now, it's all about energy management.\n\nLearning what you are good at, and what your strengths and weaknesses are is the key.  Learn from the race and apply the lessons to the next race.\n\nAbove all else, finish strong.  Sprint the finish.  Leave it all on the course, and you won't regret what could have been.  Who cares how you finish.  It's more a race against yourself in the early going.

start with just one simple thing.\nthen build from there.\ndon't look at the tasks in life as 1 giant thing, look at it in fragments. accomplish one fragment and then accomplish the next one.\nthe hardest part of running a race is putting on your shoes.

Practice is the only way. It is a skilled best learned by watching and during. The "tricks" all revolve around where to look and how to line things up. Go out and practice with someone that drives well like a parent or older friend.

About an hour before the race sit down and close your eyes. Visualize yourself running the race. Picture yourself running on every part of the track. Picture yourself picking up the pace when you need to and see yourself beating your opponents. When it comes to race time, the race isn't as intimidating because you just visualized it and you know what you need to do. It works, I promise. After your visualization, it's go-time. Warm up and listen to your fav music while you jog/stretch. Good luck. Remember being nervous is good. If you aren't nervous, you won't win.

Be at less than an angle, more like 75%. Don't forget to use the PADS of your fingers.\n\nGood luck and happy playing!

I pretty much do the same..if it is a big meet, visualize ur races. Picturing the race from start to finish, perfect strokes etc...exactly how you want to swim it... do this as you are lying down and going to sleep.

driving on a fast break its best to pick up and get the goalie up then shoot when they fall. if you've got heavy d from behind a quick screw or t shot is perfect. but experiment with what feels best for you. i know a few people that cant make a traditional wet shot to save their life, but have created their own versions that work well for them.

My best friend and i tried this one recently. A  backwards kick will do the trick. I speak from painful experience!

That depends entirely on the specifics of the shot. How much rough do you have to carry? Is it only green that you need to run on? Are there obstacles in between you and the hole?  What you need to do is go to a driving range that has a chipping green and figure it out for yourself.  There is no set answer.  If you'd like to try a different approach to chipping, rather than smacking at the ball, try this:  Put the ball in the middle of your stance with feet at shoulder width.  Take a PUTTING grip on the club, and putt it.  Just like a putt, don't swing faster on your follow through than on your backswing. Make a smooth, steady stroke.  Try that out at the range, and write down, or just remember, the distances that they carry.  Remember, if you want the ball to get up quicker, and roll less, use a higher lofted club, like a PW or SW, or even a Lob Wedge.  And if you want the ball to roll further, use a smaller iron. (5i, 6i, 4i, whatever works)  Standing 10 feet off the green, with 50 feet of green to run, I would suggest something like a 5 iron, with the stroke I mentioned before.

You need to pack it very well.  Make it almost as hard as asphault.  Your drivers will apperciate it very much and you will have better racing.

Start off fast...always stay with the pack...find your energy shot (the part of the race in the last 200 to 100 meter where you get the last brust of enery to sprint) you have it just to pass the last girl or two. Look for it and once you find that blast it will be the best and you will lower your time.

Increase your distance by .2 km each day until you are up to 10 km. You can do it! I think it's AWESOME. Who cares if you win the race... It's an amazing accomplishment just to finish. Props to you.

Get low, don't aim low. If you dive at their shoetops (or knees), they are going to truck you.\n\nGet someone on your team your size or smaller to help you practice. Stand facing each other from 20 feet away, and then you kneel down. Have them walk slowly towards you with the ball as if they were going to pass you (on either side). Plant your shoulder into their hip, head behind them, face up, wrap your arms, and then roll to take them down. If they come straight towards you, you won't be able to roll; wrap just the same but fall backwards and drag them down as you do. Keep repeating until you're comfortable, and then start increasing the speed. \n\nWhen you're comfortable at speed, start working on exploding your shoulder up into them. As you wrap behind their legs, the effect should be to lift them off the ground. If you do lift them up, drive them back down into the ground to complete the hit. How much you can practice that is going to depend on your teammates' tolerance. \n\nOnce you're comfortable with all that from your knees, work on getting into a similar position standing. Some people will actually touch a knee to the ground before contact; some people are comfortable getting into a low squat. Making contact with someone big, 95% of the time, whomever gets lower will win. Play around with what stance both allows you to feel comfortable and allows you to explode forward. \n\nOnce you have that down, the trick is getting into position during a game. It's tough in open play, and most of the tackles will be stopping them however you can. Pursuing a kick, get there fast but under control, so you can get to your tackling stance when you need. Around the scrum, the hits tend to be better lined up, but with the crowd, clean hits are rare. But they're worth it when you get them.\n\nIf someone bigger than you takes a run at you, use the same technique, but rather than exploding, just wrap and drag them down. Make the tackle, don't be a hero.

don't jump over the hurdles.  Just lift your legs and bend at the waist to clear them.  Remember that you are slowing down when in the air so spend as little time there as possible.
