• A. Chilly
• B. Check Feet
• C. Cup
• D. Stay Calm

Answer: (D)

Staying calm when you have the disc is the best way to avoid a bad pass. Anxiety tends to raise your breathing, tense your muscles, and push you to rush a throw. That rush makes you overlook options or misjudge spacing. When you stay calm, your breathing slows, your focus sharpens on the field, and your throwing mechanics stay solid. This clarity lets you quickly read who’s open, choose a safe target, and commit to a controlled, reliable throw instead of forcing something risky. A practical approach is to pause, take a slow breath, and center on one open option with a simple, confident throw. The other options don’t directly address the mental reset and deliberate decision-making that help you avoid turnovers under pressure.
