Thanks for your input, it is helpful.
I was pretty confident at the beginning of my IR course but as time has gone on, I am becoming more and more nervous. I think it is fear of making a mistake and wasting my money...
I am not sure if it is all down to me or a combination of me, my nerves and my instructor. Unfortunately it is a small school with only one IR instructor so I cant ask for a new one and I am not sure if changing school halfway through is a good idea. Up until now I have been a reasonably confident pilot (but not too confident! I want to keep my spotty bum in one piece) so it is a bit of a surprise that I am falling to pieces at this stage of the game.
I would be keen to hear about any relaxation techniques anyone has
