Some people over think it.This is very true, I've had some high level success in different sports, and the best advice I ever got and that I could ever pass on is to always deliver it cold. Act like you've been there before, seen it before, and that you belong there. It's amazing how that mindset can calm you into a high level of performance.
Have you ever just reacted instinctively and surprised yourself? I have on the sports field a lot. Hell, the more I listen to my instincts the better served I am.
The more I think about it, the more nervous, worked up, and then ultimately suffering is the only result. I think this is what star wars talked about when discussing light and dark side.
I've also heard this is one of the biggest benefits of visualising the contest prior to the actual event, it tricks / makes you feel you are in a familiar environment.
