Answer 1

my fav mantra is one can do anything if you PAY ATTENTION! please focus on each step and count it down, as in 1 you step forward, 2 you raise your arms, 3 you look for a target, 4 you jump off. 5 you keep your posture correct, 6 you hit the water....thats my advice...managable segments

Answer 2

Practice them - that's probably the only way.
