Perfect Playlist-Rachel Hart

This playlist is created for for going into a competition. It's meant to get you focused for the competition.  I often use this playlist before I enter the ring at an agility trial to calm my nerves and get ready to run. 

1. Roar by Katy Perry. I think this song embodies those moments when you're feeling like the underdog who is ready to prove themselves. With lyrics such as "Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar" and  "I went from zero, to my own hero", it's motivating in even the hardest of competitions. 

2.We are the Champions by Queen. How can you have a competition playlist without this song? While it may be cheesy, it's perfect to describe the feeling. Once all the hard work is over this is the song you want to be listening to because hopefully you've won the competition and can celebrate.  

3.The Climb by Miley Cyrus. This song is fairly specific to agility but could be applied to other competitions as well. In agility, there are lots of obstacles in which your dog must climb and get over so the climb part of the song fits perfectly. However, the overcoming of obstacles part of the song can be applied to any competition in your life. 

4.On Top of the World by Imagine Dragons. This song also describes the feeling you have when you win. I think this song also has a bouncy beat which helps to calm my nerves before I compete. If I go in with a lighter mood, I normally do better.

5.It's Time by Imagine Dragons. Another song that helps to calm the nerves of competition. "It's time to begin isn't it?" This lyric is often in my head when I enter the ring because it's at the end of the playlist and it means it's time to start the run.
