Performing Under Pressure

You can practice something over and over again and still freeze up when you have to perform for real. It is like studying for a test and then when you take it, your mind goes blank. Nervousness, Anxiety, etc. set in and you wonder where your knowledge went. To perform under stress can only be done through experience. You have to do test yourself by getting out there and doing it. In theory, you know what to do, but you have to get out their and do it to know if you can do it under stress. To remain calm in a storm takes practice. So, leave the umbrella and get wet.
