Take a deep breath and hold it for 4 seconds. Then breath out for 5. Repeat a few times if you're feeling nervous, scared or upset. I did this with tournaments when I felt anxious and it helped. Do you want me to share a story if it'll help?
I take tae-kwon-do, and you compete in tournaments for trophies in Sparring and Forms (Weapons too if it's included). I'm not that good at sparring. One year we were getting ready and I had 2 other people in my group, so I only went once (drew straws and I was lucky) and against the winner. I get nervous because the guys with me are pretty good and start deep breathing. Match comes up. I keep pushing the guy out of the ring and kicking him in the head, and I get my first-ever First Place in Sparring. The point is to not let fear and worry take control. Whatever happens, take a deep breath and try to get back in control, otherwise everythin'll spiral out again.
