What can I do if i feel nervous before a game? Really effective tips that anyone tried?

[GreenDay]

I always feel nervous when I'm out of shape. When I feel fast and skillfull, I also feel confident. So I'd suggest just getting into the best shape you can, and the nervousness will go away!

I am always nervous before the game....but once the kick off is taken I am confident and focused. I think that however long a player has played, they will always get some butterflys before a game at some point....

Its only normal, dont worry about it....

Try Juggling or dribbling around if you get nervious, even though you should be doing that before the game anyways to get warmed up.

thanks

just grab a set of headphones, put in some pump up music, close your eyes and imagine how good you are about to play, that helps for me in big games

that very well could be, if you feel a need to prove yourself to them. just practice a lot and be confident.
