1. Performing Under Pressure
The Science of Doing Your Best When It Matters Most
A science-based guide to handling high-stakes situations, it explains why pressure typically undermines performance and how to counter it with actionable tactics. It distinguishes pressure from everyday stress, debunks the idea that people perform better under pressure, and offers tools such as reframing stakes as challenges, focusing on controllable tasks, downshifting perceived importance, using pre-performance routines, mindfulness and breathing, and if-then plans. It also details how to build a resilient mindset—confidence, optimism, tenacity, and enthusiasm—and provides strategies for leaders to reduce unnecessary pressure and create supportive environments.
