(Track) discus throwing focus??

Question

when the competition is way beyond my reach i throw great. but when the competition is in my reach of placing, or even worse, im ranked 1st, then i choke and all my confidence goes down from there. why do i do this and what do you do for this?

i throw the discus and imagining i am throwing with better competition doesnt work either.

btw i throw this weekend :)
