I am very sorry I did not see your post until now. I do not really have a great idea,but I wanted wish you the best luck. Is the competition over now? How did you do? How did you feel? I know how hard it is to compete. I used to compete with piano. I went all over the places and got on the stage numerous times with legs and hands shaking. There was not even once that I did not feel nervous. I used to always worry that what if I forget the piece, what if I mess up the cadenza, what if ..... what if....... When I changed studio to well known conservatory, it got worse. I expected more from myself and end up pressuring myself more. I do not know how your new coach is. Is the coach well known and have many high level skaters? But one day, I have decided to think who cares what is going to happen. Whatever happens, it is not the end of the world. It got better. I was told that eating bananas before the competition help, too. So I always had bananas with me when I competed.
Well. I heard that Nobu was saying he gets nervous every time compete, too. I am very sorry I can not help much, but I understand how you feel. But it is going to get better.
