Question
I always get nervous before a game any tips you recommend on  what to do before a game and what can calm me down. I usually get to excited and just lose my concentration.

Answer
Are you a baseball player or umpire? In either case, listening to music before the game helps. I have a CD that starts with soothing songs, goes to harder songs, then back to soothing songs. Also, have a routine you follow before every game. By having this routine, your body becomes accustomed to what you're about to do.
