## Description

When you're sitting in the lineup waiting for your heat, anxiety can hit hard. It shows up as nausea, trembling, or racing thoughts, and it can ruin a perfect session. This MCP gives your AI agent the specific tools needed to help you regulate your nervous system and stay composed. Instead of generic advice, you get protocols tailored to how you're actually feeling in the moment. You can use it to gauge how intense your symptoms are, get immediate breathing techniques to lower your heart rate, or build a structured countdown of actions to take before you paddle out. For long-term improvement, it helps you develop a consistent mental strategy so you aren't starting from scratch every time you enter a contest.
