You're hitting home runs all over the place.  I was advocating breathing
techniques 20 years ago when I was a youngish ski race coach.   I emphasized
the chest and the tummy moving in unison while throwing in a bit of light
low humming,,,ohming.(did you ever do that?)  The relaxation and focus while
waiting for 50 skiers to start in front of you did wonders for the jitters.
