Performance under pressure
Ignore the "What if?" questions and thoughts that aren't helpful.
Instead, recall a similar problem you've dealt with. Leverage prior experience to calmly size up challenges.
Focus on the next step and you won't panic.
Emphasise the positive and focus on what you can control.
On the eve of a big event, worrying won’t change a thing – you’re either ready or you’re not.
Learn how to switch off using triggers that you know relax you.
