Tiger Woods, Larry Bird, Wayne Gretzky, a pitcher just before a game, I would imagine they all have nervous energy. But as you perform, the nervous energy dissipates and you start to relax and you start to do what you do best.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Before every performance I feel nervous.
I get nervous watching teammates. I get nervous for them. Late in the game, pressure situation, I'm nervous for them.
I get nervous every time, for every single performance, before getting up on that stage.
When we started off it was all nervous energy and we probably played everything twice as fast as we do now.
I'm nervous whenever I perform.
I'm always nervous when I perform anyway.
Think of it this way: performing is like sprinting while screaming for three, four minutes. And then you do it again. And then you do it again. And then you walk a little, shouting the whole time. And so on. Your adrenaline quickly overwhelms your conditioning.
I think it's healthy for a person to be nervous. It means you care - that you work hard and want to give a great performance. You just have to channel that nervous energy into the show.
I'm nervous when I play in the Masters or most other tournaments.
I don't get nervous in any situation. There's no such thing as nerves when you're playing games.
