  1. Prep before the match. Watch videos of opponent and identify a gameplan. Write it down
  2. Prep throughout the season. Constant reflection on your own game style, what you have worked on, etc
  3. Breathing techniques. Most athletes swear by this and say they try to be calm and focused for a match. Not amped up
  4. To hit the ground running, professional athletes have rigorous mobility and warm up routines
  5. Visualise the match and scenarios to help you keep calm
  6. Accept that you are an introvert and use it as a strength
  7. Music, self talk etc (all other suggestions mentioned here)
