The pressure is immense, and it tests their mental fortitude.” This pressure cooker habitat prepares athletes for the even greater challenges they will face at the national level.

These events provide a platform for athletes to showcase their skills and gain valuable competitive experience, mirroring the function of the Macro Regional tournament in Mexico.
