Service confidence

So I've been playing badminton for over 10 years, 4 of which were competitive, both in inter-school (doubles) and external games (singles), but even now I sometimes still get some sort of performance anxiety when serving in doubles.

During training (and in the past) I can consistently execute good serves close to the net, but in games I just get scared that I'll serve too high and give the opponents a free net kill and end up serving into the net, and in my next service I end up unintentionally serving it way too high (like half a racket head) and it ends up being a free net kill.

The silver lining is that it's not a frequent occurrence (maybe 2x a match on average) but I'd like to try to eliminate that and any advice would be appreciated!
