Preparing a Team for the HRGames Competition
Many students and advisors find the process of preparing for HRGames a daunting one. Past HRGames participants have recommended various methods to study for the competition. Here are some suggestions:
- At the end of late November/early December, choose members of your chapter to be HRGames team members and begin practicing for the games.
- Some chapters hold mock competitions to select individuals for their teams.
- In late January/early February, begin meeting twice a week for an hour to an hour and a half for practice.
- Use of flash cards or similar materials will help tremendously.
- Two weeks prior to the state or regional games, increase practice sessions to 3 or 4 times a week.
- Have students study in the car or on the plane to the competition.
- Spend the night before the competition sequestered at the hotel prepping for another 3 hours.
Putting in a lot of effort before the competition has been shown to pay off.
