Maybe give some free advice about: Sports? bigred answered Sunday August 29 2004, 3:26 pm: just try to chill. talk a long soothing bubble bath.but just make sure not 2 put pressure on urself. u shouldnt care wut other ppl think as long as ur out there havin fun that should b all that counts but if its not think of it this way ur the youngest so u could beat the other ppl proving that age doesnt matter. it shouldnt matter if ppl r starin while ur windsurfin that should give u more confidence if thier starin then give them sumthin 2 stare at...hope u win [ bigred's advice column | Ask bigred A Question ]
ShatteringStereotypes answered Saturday August 28 2004, 5:25 pm: Just take a look at your talent. You obviously must be a pretty great windsurfer to compete with an older age group, so don't let it get to you. Your talent is just as great as anyone who you're going to be competing again, so just go in there with a good head on your shoulders and lots of confidence in yourself, and you'll be in great shape for the competition!

xoRachel answered Saturday August 28 2004, 5:23 pm: Wow! You must be pretty good! Take some deep breaths before you go compete. I know some people say it doesn't work but it really does. And have fun. I mean if you're all serious about it and just want to win you'll try too hard and make mistakes. Sure, you should be serious about it, but make sure you're having fun! Hope I helped! Ratings appreciated =c)

Zero answered Saturday August 28 2004, 4:40 pm: aww good job! Just keep telling yourself that your lucky you got that far! Or right before you go don't even think about it. I used to skatebourd and I was all freaked out about going down the ramps and I just said "1 2 3 go" and I did it and I could'nt go back b/c it was too late! so Good luck!!!
LoViny0ux914 answered Saturday August 28 2004, 3:53 pm: they picked you for that division for a reason..you have as much skill or maybe more than these other older people. if you keep thinking about "omg theyr older n better" your gunna distract yourself and you wont be able to ocncentrate on what you need to do. jus think about "ok i can do this..im HERE for a reason" n then jus do what you need to do! gl hunni n dont let the other people intimidate you!!
