Question: How do I chill out before a figure skating competition? Any tips? I am SO nervous in a figure skating competition! Therefore I always pop of freak out during competition. Got any chill tips? Anyone? Thanks

Answer: Don't be nervous - remember that you are prepared, and that this is just an opportunity to show people how awesome you are at skating! :) Some of the things I do to relax before I take the ice to compete are to listen to music (it can be really helpful to have your program on a mix of other music that gets you relaxed and ready, so you can walk it through before you actually skate it), slowly warm up off ice in a quiet spot, and to mentally visualize a really good skate. Otherwise, do everything you can to have your things prepared and ready to go, so there's no additional stress the day of. Get your bag packed and your dress ready ahead of time. Polish your skates. Make sure everything is in order so you don't have to scramble, and can take your time on the actual day of your event. Arrive at the rink early for your event, too! It makes a big difference for me to not feel like I'm rushing once I get there. Remember that you have practiced hard, and are prepared. Don't worry about the judges or the scores, just worry about skating the best you can, and leave it at that. Remember to breathe! Good luck with your competition, I hope that you skate well and enjoy yourself!
