4 Steps to coping with nervousness pre-sports competition

  1. Focus on the Process: Rather than worrying about the outcome, focus on the process of what you need to do in order to perform well. This can help you stay in the moment and prevent your mind from wandering into worrying about the future.
  2. Take Deep Breaths:  Take deep breaths and focus on the breath going in and out of your body. This can help slow down your heart rate and create a sense of calm.
  3. Visualize Success:  Visualize yourself performing well and succeeding in the competition. This can help you stay positive and confident in your abilities.
  4. Talk to Yourself:  Talk to yourself in a positive and reassuring way. Remind yourself of your strengths and abilities and that you are capable of doing well.
