With nationals upon us I know everyone is getting anxious as well as nervous for the upcoming competition! For me, I was very excited to get up on stage but I had nerves about what to expect! Here are some tips and advice for Nationals 2016!
Tip 1: Do what YOU do best! As the competition goes on it’s easy to begin to compare yourself to your competitors. DON’T! Focus on yourself and what you can do to improve but don’t conform to what everyone else is doing or what a specific person is doing! The judges are going to love you for you, not for the girl you think they’re going to love. Remain true to yourself and don’t change anything based on the other competitors!
Tip 2: Take your time on the stage! Often times nerves get the best of a contestant and they rush through their routines! Remember to take your time and truly soak in your moment! It’s your time to shine and you want to enjoy every second of it!
Tip 3: Believe you can win! The first step to achieving anything is believing! If you truly believe you can, it will be evident to everyone around you and on stage. You must have confidence!
I hope these tips help all of you at Nationals in a few weeks! I look forward to meeting all of you! If you have any questions or want additional advice, I am here!
