I posted something years ago about having trouble with this and got some great advice that really helped, but can't get the search to work and what happened recently was even worse.
When I was standing at the line to serve my whole body started shaking and I couldn't get it to stop which made me more nervous and self conscious. The whole match I'd been serving well, but at that point I was serving to stay in it and I saw there was a crowd watching me. I tried going through my serving checklist, but it was tough with my body shaking. When I tried hitting the serve it was the same feeling as years ago where my timing was off and it was like my wrist didn't work right and I had no control. It felt like it would twist in the wrong direction. After that I didn't make another serve.
I've been extremely nervous before, but this is the first time I've noticed my body psychically shaking, like someone hit me with a taser. I've only seen shaking like that in movies. At that point is there anything I can do to get myself back to normal? This seems to be something mental that's affecting me psychically Something with breathing or a way to distract myself to get rid of the shaking? I couldn't focus on my serve ritual, technique or anything other than wondering why my body wouldn't stop trembling.
