So let's try it together.

Okay.

So let's say you're stood on the start line of Olympic Games.

What tends to happen when you're nervous is obviously your breath quickens.

So there's something that you can do where you really just slow down the breath.

So it's really just as simple as taking a deep breath in through the nose and slowing it down and then breathing out.

Yeah.

You'll see a lot of people doing it.

You'll see a lot of people, you know, puffing their chest and then slowly just releasing the air through their mouths.

You'll see that a lot of like, that's like, yeah, unanimous with sports people is that breathing out of the nose, but then there's also out of the mouth, but there's also, um, taking control of what you can control.

So for me, if I'm nervous for a race, I know that there's a certain number of steps I need to take to get to the first hurdle.

So for me, that's 22 steps.

So in my head, I'm like, right, how am I going to get 22 steps?

I'm looking at my starting blocks and I think, big first three steps.

And I literally repeat to myself, right, when the gun goes, you take three big steps and you get to that first hurdle.

And then you know your race plan like the back of your hand.

And once you're over that first hurdle, it's very much like, right, now I've just got to get to the second one, the third one, all the way until you get to 10.

And then the race is over in this minute.

You control the controllables.

Yeah.
