Hello! How can I help you today?<|im_end|>

I'm playing in a big basketball game tomorrow and I'm feeling really nervous. Do you have any tips on how to prepare mentally?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Yes, one helpful tip is to focus on your breathing and try to visualize yourself playing well. Imagine yourself making shots and working together with your team.<|im_end|>

That sounds like a good idea. What else can I do to stay focused during the game?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Another strategy is to set small, achievable goals for yourself during the game, like making a certain number of free throws or getting a certain number of rebounds. This can help you stay focused on the present moment and not get too caught up in nerves or distractions.<|im_end|>

Okay, that makes sense. I'll try to do that.<|im_end|>
