I find humor helps our alot in the driver station, if you are laughing or smiling in the driver station you dont feel as stressed. I see most people say drink lots of water and stay away from caffeine/sugar but i usually chew gum or eat wintergreen lifesavers (gives me something else to focus on) all day at competition. I am usually also loaded on caffeine all day. This year i am on drive team but, not in a drive role, the drive coach and i give driver info on what to do and communicate with the other teams along with how much time is left and such which also keeps the driver from having to think to much. I also know the wintergreen mints work well for other people on our driver team (fox46). good planning before matches also keeps stress down by everyone know what is supposed to happen rather than the match being a confused mess.
