Learn to keep yourself in the game and out of your head when it's time to perform. Redirect pre-game anxiety with:

“Obviously playing professional sports is all about focus and yoga's all about holding a pose and maintaining your focus on that, trying to get deeper and relaxing yourself at the same time. You do that for an hour-and-a-half session, three or four sessions a week, and you become better at keeping your mind on one thing and not letting your mind drift.”
--- Kerry Kittles, LA Clippers 2004-05
“It's great for flexibility, it's therapeutic, and great for your attitude. And it gets you some silence during your day.”
--- Tom Brady, New England Patriots
