In this clip, Smith advises coaches on dealing with athlete nerves when competing in a game. It's important that before a game, athletes are "in the zone." This might mean playing a warm up song, or getting them excited with a pre-game speech. He also gives these tips for dealing with mid-game nerves:

• Tell a joke
• Loosen them up by taking pressure off their shoulders
• Show them you care by noticing when they are off their game.
