Competitive Eating Tips
I wanted to share with you some competitive eating tips that can really help you develop as an athlete in this sport. Tips are hard to come by because there simply isn’t that much knowledge available to the general public. This is still a sport that is pretty taboo and most people don’t care. The good news is that I have some competitive eating tips to help you out.
1. Consistent Pace over Speed
When you’re in a competition, you want to eat fast. You want to stuff all that food in your mouth as fast as you can, so you can win. The problem is that if you go to fast you’ll choke, but not only that, if you go to fast, you’ll eventually lose pace.
It’s sort of like marathon runners. They don’t burst out of the starting gates. They pace themselves. They know that it is much easier to be consistent, than it is to go super fast.
That’s basically what you want to do. Have food coming in your mouth at a pace that you can sustain for the entire time. That will work the best.
2. Practice With Proper Food
If you’re going in a meatball competition, eat meatballs. If you’re going in a hot dog competition, eat hot dogs. The point is that you need to practice with what you’re going to eat. It has to be a constant thing, so you understand exactly how to eat a food.
3. Experiment
Eat the food you’re going to be competing with, but experiment with the eating process. Try something. Try eating two hot dogs at the same time. You might surprise yourself and realize that you can take advantage this and help you win the contest.
Competitive eating is extremely new and I believe it hasn’t evolved to the best methods of eating. That means there is a lot of room for innovation and you can win if you just take the time to experiment.
I hope these competitive eating tips help you out. I know they have for me.
