Warm up your mind, warm up your body, warm up your attitude.
A little pre-game chat with your partner, some stretching, the pre-game things that need doing like checking to be sure the table people have a clue, that the ball is in good shape, that there's no jewelry or casts or splints, other pre-game things like that.
DEvelop your pregame ritual over time, and then stick to it. It helps a lot.
