How do you calm yourself before a big game/moment?

Before I play rugby I always listen to The Gravel Road to calm and get focused before the heavier stuff comes on to get me pumped up.

What do you do?

I don't have one specific thing I do, but I remember before my big race in the conference swim meet my junior year of high school I was really nervous and the heat before me took ten minutes, so I was getting jumpy, and I just sat down and sang Hayburner by Count Basie to myself because it's really calm and relaxing, but it has energy. Then I had it stuck in my head for the race and I dropped ten seconds. It was pretty cool.

I just think of other stuff. Boyfriend. Homework. Swimming. Just something to get my mind off it :3 Or I jam out to music ahaha :)

I normally listen to some oldies song like something by the Beach Boys or "Low Rider."
