First, unless a local code required it I would raise the bottom and lower the top attachment points just a bit so you could use 12 ft lumber. Then use 2X4 scrap as blocking to form an X brace. This will eliminate much of the flex. What you plan to cover it with will also affect how much braceing you'll need. 26 ga. metal needs all the help it can get, 3/4" OSB or plywood based products don't need as much help to get a sturdy building. I have seen old barns here abouts that were built on set stones where they used 2X12 top girts, braced off with a 3 or 4 ft 2X4 and that was all the braceing they had. It didn't look all that stout to me but the barn wus still in use an 70 years old.
