Looking to calm your nerves? Here are 4 tips from Super Bowl champions

As Dustin Colquitt ran out onto the field before Super Bowl LIV’s kickoff in 2020, he was greeted with a piece of trivia on the video board that triggered a wave of anxiety. The message read, “If the Chiefs win today, Dustin joins his dad, Craig, and brother, Britton, as a Super Bowl champion.” This daunting thought led Colquitt to employ a simple yet effective remedy to calm his nerves – a series of breathing exercises on the sideline.

The pressure and nervousness experienced by professional football players in moments like the Super Bowl are relatable to people facing high-stakes situations in their own lives. Learning how to conquer these emotions is crucial, and Super Bowl champions have shared valuable tips on how to quiet the mind in such moments.

One effective tip is to find a helpful distraction. Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin, for instance, used techniques like tapping his fingertips and playing strategy games on his phone to ground himself during pressure-packed moments. Dustin Colquitt, on the other hand, found solace in calming music by artists like Bob Marley and Jimmy Buffett before big games.

Breath work is another powerful tool to quickly recalibrate the mind. Colquitt, Willie Colon, and Logan Ryan all utilized breathing techniques to center themselves and reduce nerves before crucial moments. Ryan, in particular, emphasized the importance of breath work in staying present and fearless during high-pressure situations.

Visualization can also be a potent method for preparing the mind for success. Seahawks linebacker K.J. Wright would spend time visualizing the upcoming game every night, speaking positive affirmations to himself to bring success and energy. Malcolm Smith, the MVP of Super Bowl XLVIII, acknowledged imperfections as part of the game and embraced them before each match.

Lastly, embracing the magnitude of the moment can help alleviate anxiety. Smith and Baldwin both emphasized the importance of staying present and enjoying the moment rather than succumbing to doubt. Bruce Arians, the head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, maintained his routine of a few drinks and a good night’s sleep before games, allowing him to stay true to himself and avoid extra hype.

In conclusion, implementing these tips from Super Bowl champions can help individuals quiet their minds in high-pressure situations and perform at their best. Whether it’s finding a helpful distraction, practicing breath work, visualizing success, or embracing the moment, these strategies can be valuable tools for navigating stressful circumstances with confidence and composure.
