One of the shooters at a local match is a head shrink of some sort.
I asked him about 1st stage jitters yesterday. I expected to get some traditional advice (think positive, mentally rehearse not acting like such a big *****, I'm not at work now just leave me alone, etc.). What he did say was that sometimes you can get your Doctor to prescribe a drug that is used for jitters control by some public performers and by some folks who have problems with speaking due to voice tremors. Supposed to have about a 3 - 4 hour duration and not to impair performance.
I'm more inclined to suffer from a problem than to actually do something to fix it, but the drug thing was interesting. Do shooters sometimes use it ?
