Start discussing emotions, such as nervousness, as a natural phenomenon, and emphasize that everyone reacts differently in various situations, but that ALL feelings are valid. Encourage children to share their emotions before competitions\/matches and guide them on how to focus on the right aspects. Sometimes, having a consistent routine can provide a sense of security, such as always performing the same warm-up before competitions or matches. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Before competition\/match:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
  • “How do you feel before the competition?”, “It is perfectly fine to have many emotions! I usually get nervous too.”<\/em><\/li>\n
  • Question: “What can we do to feel less nervous?”<\/em> (breathe, encourage each other, focus on having fun, try to accept that feeling nervous is okay)<\/li>\n
  • Normalize feelings: “Nervousness means it’s important to us. That’s good!”<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    \n

    Afterward:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      \n
    • “How did the nervousness feel? Did it disappear when the competition\/match started?”, “Is there anyone who would like to share?”<\/em>. As a leader, normalize emotions but also help direct attention toward a behavior that the participants can focus on to prevent negative feelings from taking over. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
