I think people here gave you good, sensible advice. Sooner or later, though, some kid is going to give you weird advice about strange diets and so forth. I never could play music well in public, but I was a successful debater in high school. Some of the best advice I got, from a forensics coach, was, "Lead a normal life!" In other words, before a big debate tournament, I should eat my normal diet, keep my normal hours with my normal amount of sleep, talk with my friends, watch some TV if I felt like it instead of obsessively slaving over the preparations, and do other things that worked for me and kept me comfortable in everyday life. Sometimes, strange, "special" food (like eating five bananas when you're used to just one at a time) or unaccustomed exercises can backfire by causing an upset stomach or other physical discomfort that can be very distracting, just what you don't need! You've already done the hard work to prepare, so now is the time to trust yourself and go with what has worked for you all along.
