I stuttered severely on my name. I practiced mirror work in the bathroom saying my name over and over and over again until I was exhausted........no more anxiety........no more fear........it became boring. When it came time to say my name in the real world, it just came out. Don't be so hard on yourself, you got this. Every coach will tell you that if you want to be good at something, you need to practice. We have to work 100x harder than everyone else. You got this and I'm in your corner cheering you on.
