I don’t compete, but just filming frays my nerves. I relax as soon as I’m having fun instead of worrying about what I’m trying to film. Also, short breaks, snacks, deserts, whatever you normally enjoy can be helpful. ---

Try breathing excersizes? Maybe listen to some tunes and relax. Do a dry run and visualize your tricks in sync with the music(if you do that) takethe pressure off and dont think about it from a competitive view, play like noones watching and most of all have fun with it like its just another day of practice ---

I don’t have any suggestions for you, except to remember this is 100% normal. I’ve said that when I get on stage for the sport division of a contest, it feels like I’m wearing hockey gloves and have my eyes covered by a gauze blindfold. Filming for an Instagram post is only slightly less unnerving. Just take a deep breath, try to forget the camera is rolling and focus on doing the routine you have been hitting clean over and over before you turned on the camera. french ---
