Hi Ajay,

This is a common feeling that players get.

Take a look through our section on Sports Psychology for some help with this area.

The main thing is to be able to recognise your feelings initially and then find ways to deal with it.

To develop this building block the following video on match drill routines will be extremely helpful.
