So I have been doing a lot of Olympic lifting recently as I have an exam thats assessing Olympic lifts shortly. I generally do snatches and cleans anyway but I have cut down the weight and have just being doing technique work (they are very strict with form in exam). My lifts need to be as fluent and correct as possible with minimal error. My mentor works with athletes at the gym and he will sometimes go up to me and correct me/give feedback.
Anyway usually my mentor and his staff watch me which doesn't bother me and the occasional gym goer. However, recently it has escalated. My recent gym session, my mentor was doing some coaching with me and all the gym goers watched me the whole time. One girl beside me would sit and watch during her rest periods, two girls stood behind me literally stared and watched (caught them and they didn't even flinch).
The gym staff watched (sometimes they do) and the other gym goers glancing to see. I was the only one doing Olympic lifts and since I am focusing on technique it takes a lot of concentration but when that many people stare at you it puts you off! I just don't get why. I actually got up to go first thing this morning just to avoid it. I do get a few poor reps or bail the bar now and then when I lose focus then other times its spot on. Anyway of teaching myself to not get put off/re-focus my attention?
