that pressure down to a more manageable level so you can do your thing on stage . How ? Recall your strategy and go into action mode . And I mean now ; what can you do right this minute ? Stop thinking about what others are thinking , what any mistakes you ’ ve made could mean to your scoring , dwelling on the negative , etc .
Secondly use that pressure as fuel , as motivation . Use that pressure to energize your focus on being in the moment , with every pose , every transition , every movement . See the stage as your opportunity to showcase all of your hard work , time , and effort . It ’ s your time .
It ’ s been said that pressure makes diamonds . Are you going to be a piece of coal wallowing in darkness or are you going to sparkle like the gem you are ?
You decide .
