Re: Drive team stress?

In anything in life, remember that no one honestly wants to see you fail, and for the .1% that might, they're not worth your time anyways. FIRST is an environment that will bring out anxiety that everyone has in them. When you give a speech, your audience wants to see you succeed. When you take a test for a class, the teacher wants to see you ace it. When a team selects a driver, the team think's they've already found a winner-you. The first thought yo ushould have in your head isn't "the team is counting on me," but "the team believes in me." It's a subtle difference in writing but the second one instills you with confidence instead of enabling fear.
