Positive affirmations before a performance can include statements such as: “I am prepared and ready to showcase my skills.” “I embrace the excitement and use it to fuel my performance.” “I am calm, focused, and fully present in the moment.” “I trust my training and believe in my abilities.” “I am grateful for the opportunity to perform and share my talent.” These affirmations help athletes calm their nerves, boost confidence, and create a positive mindset before stepping into the spotlight.
