Preseason is in a day. I need HELP!

Question

okay, so last year i joined field hockey. in a day preseason starst and it is intenseee. Not only am i scared of messing up (my sitckwork is a little messy, and the older girls are kinda intimidating) but i am terrified of all the running and sprinting the coaches make me do. Im starting to wonder if all this stress is worth it. I am getting so many anxiety attacks just thinking of it. How do i mentally prepare myself? And how do I keep up with the other girls in running? So scared. help.

Why is this question in the Fantasy Sports Section?

Answer 2

well one day isn't enough to really train to run, but a little light running may do you some good. do not over do it though, because you don't want to be sore for tomorrow's practice. i would also go outside and re lean your stick. if it has been sitting away since last october, you need to get used to it again. in your yard or a park nearby just hit the ball around a bit.

Well why are the older girls intimidating to you? is it because they are better, or because they harass the younger girls? if they are better, use it to your advantage. Ask one of them to pass with you during your warm ups. She will show you what you need to work on, and what you are great at. That is nothing to be afraid of. If they harass you, report it to your coach or athletic director. It is against the rules, and after a couple of offenses, they can be removed from the team no mater how good they are.
