How do you deal with athletes getting nervous under pressure? Unfortunately, I do not handle pressure very well an crack. How do y'all tend to deal with it?

Are you talking about nerves and pressure at comp. or just overall/in general ?

Both. Pressure of competition, getting new skills, making certain teams, getting bids to go to Worlds, etc.

i think the turning part of my career is when i decided to not think behind stage "omg i have to hit this and this" and just thought "I'm gonna go have fun". you have to trust yourself and your teammates. of course it is normal to get nerves behind stage, but sitting behind stage about to throw up wanting to cry will not help you better preform. every team I've been on does better when behind stage we're laughing, having fun and joking around. when everyone is terrified it never goes well. i know its easier said than done, but just have confidence. nerves do not help you
