Re: Drive team stress?
This will sound weird, but bear with me.
When I was on the drive team, I found that both my driver and myself performed best when we were loose. To get loose before a match if we felt the stress coming on, we would grab each others' arms, wiggle them back and forth, and repeatedly say "loosey goosey, loosey goosey." Start with your arms and really get your whole body into it, until you're both sitting there wobbling like idiots. It was amazing how much better our driving got once we started staying loose. Now it's somewhat of a tradition on my old team for the drivers to get "loosey goosey" before matches.
You will look ridiculous in front of everyone. You will feel stupid. However, you will not care because now you are loose and in a better mood, capable of focusing on the task at hand.
