High Pressure Sports Situations
Have you ever been really nervous before a big game or sporting event? Right now I am pretty nervous for a big dance recital that I have coming up. The recital includes me dancing in front of 300 people for 2 and half hours BY MYSELF!
I have been preparing for this performance for the last couple of months and I have another 5 weeks to keep improving. I know that I will be prepared because I have been practicing everyday and working really hard. Everything is coming together but that doesn’t stop the butterflies in my stomach when I think about such a big performance. As the day comes closer, I am realizing more and more the reality of how big an event this will be and I find myself getting more nervous.
Now, I am not nervous-scared, instead I am more nervous-excited. I love dancing and performing and I have performed in front of hundreds of people before…but never alone. That is what makes me most nervous about this performance. I have spoken to other people who have given similar performances to the one I will give. They all tell me that I will not be nervous on the day of the performance if I prepare well and am confident in my ability to dance. I sure hope they are right!
Have you ever played in a high pressure game or performance where you were nervous beforehand? Comment below and tell me about it.

Dear reader,
I am about to be dancing a BIG part in the Nutcracker!
It's not that big,but I'm the ''head soldier''!!!! I have to lead my soldiers to the battle with the ''mice''. I'm REALLY nervous,even on dress rehersals. I've never put my hair up in a neat bun with jel or hair-spray! Always messy buns or ponytails and a baseball cap!! I am now alot more confident in my work because of this blog,I will practice every day.

I have a high pressure sport as well- I run on my school's cross country team. I get so nervous before every race because I don't know how good I will do against my opponents. I have also gotten tripped in a race and fell. Plus, I just about collapse when I finish- the races get pretty face paced. - Twilight
