I would suggest having a look at bulletproof musician.com. I have found Noa's program helpful. There are many things you can do, but one size does not fit all. I would observe that comparison with others, in a competitive sense, is usually a mistake. Anxiety comes from a feared negative outcome, from being afraid of what will happen. You're afraid that you won't get first chair, or that someone to whom you feel superior will be judged as better. This is wasted energy, living in an imagined undesirable future rather than the present. Mark Twain wrote, "My life has been filled with a thousand tragedies, the vast majority of which never happened." Focus on the process, not the outcome. Do your best, accept the results, modify your preparation if necessary, repeat. Even with a strong mental game, it takes time and experience to transfer practice room gains into pressure situations, so keep working.
