Playoffs

I'm very nervous about the usta playoffs as tons of people will be there and I have lot of performance anxiety especially when people are watching. My team and coach expects me to do well but i realize that more pressure is put on me i tend to hyperventilate and my thinking process turns to lot of worrying.. I've tried breathing, visualizing and practice with ball machine etc...but anxiety seems to be uncontrollable... I know losing in tennis isn't end of the world but our team ended with a perfect record and seems that we are suppose to go far .. (coach even booked hotel for sectionals)... I always tell myself i don't want to play this next year because i can't handle the stress or pressure as I see the truth of my character surface and feel that i need to just play some recreational fun tennis or a local league... I see the professionals and i'm just amazed they can play at there peak when thousands are watching, money is at stake, ranking is at stake, millions watching in television etc... i guess some are wired to be pros while others are wired to be wannabes ^_+
