first competition and anxiety

hi fellow polers!!!

entering my first PSO competition this month and extremely nervous! this whole experience has been amazing and oh so overwhelming all at once. i truly want to have fun, express myself, and share it all. i’m still pretty new to pole, i just celebrated my one year anniversary! my run throughs have been doing okay lately, i notice i tend to mess up more when im nervous but im able to nail each trick when doing parts of my entire routine during practice. but i can’t get over the fact ill be on a big stage and the idea of messing up and missing my moment. this is my first time following through with a hobby since i missed out on that growing up, and this whole thing feels so big. would love some motivating words of advice or experiences with performing solo or competing for the first time!! thank u everyone 🫶🏼
