How do I overcome frustration when playing music or sports?

This happens to me often, if I mess up many times in a row, then I'll progressively get worse and worse. Then once I realize it and say to myself "I'm frustrated" then it's just a lost cause. This happens to me in video games, playing guitar, DJing, playing sports, everything.

It's not a big deal, usually I'll just take a break, but I need to overcome for certain times like when I'm doing a performance or during a game.
