Answer: calm down; very high arousal can affect her performance

Explanation:

Arousal is necessary in sports to achieve optimum performance. A high level of arousal is very good, but it goes with risk as the individual is bound to fail by silly mistake or ever excitement when they can't handle the moments. In most cases, it is advised that the athlete take a calm measure as very high arousal can affect their performance and all they have worked over a period of time.
