What can I do when competition fear take over?

Hello Simran, What you are experiencing is common performance anxiety, especially before competitions. When the heart races and panic sets in, it blocks focus and confidence. Anxiety treatment and stress relief techniques can help. Try deep breathing before stepping on stage and visualize yourself performing confidently. Breaking your practice into small, focused sessions and positive self-talk can reduce tension. Light stretching or a brief walk can calm your body. Over time, these methods improve mental calmness, focus, and confidence, helping you manage nerves and perform effectively without panic taking over.
