Relax.
You might be surprised/that even world-class athletes/get nervous and lose confidence. Roger Federer/is one of the greatest tennis players of all time. He is the winner/of 20 Grand Slam tournaments. You might think/that he would have no problems/keeping up his self-confidence. You would be wrong.
Roger Federer/is sometimes plagued with negative thoughts. He was playing a match/which he had perfectly prepared for,/yet somehow he was losing. When asked how he felt,/he said,/“No matter how positive you are,/you just see negativity/flying all around you.” So what is his advice? Accept all the difficult thoughts and feelings/and just stay focused on the game.

I try to find somebody who I know,/try to talk and laugh and just relax/and not think about anything else.”
