Philip's advice is good. It is what I used at your age.
However, as I continued my education, that view/technique became more of a liability for me, and (I think it is just a personality thing which varies from person to person) I found that being relaxed provided a better performance for me. (I was very athletic and competitive at the time.)
Switching to a "fun mode" helped me a lot.
The thinking that put me in "fun mode" was something along these lines:
"Now that the event/performance is here, I've done all the prep I can do. I will play exactly to the level I prepared for, which is the best I am capable of. I won't magically be able to play any better than I have been playing. So - it is "what it is" at this point. If I impress folks, great! If I don't...well, I better figure out a better way to prepare next time. Either way, there's nothing I can do about it for this performance, it's time to have fun and learn what I can!"
