In our modern world, the layers of pressure are abundant, coming from both external and internal sources. Pressure, in its essence, represents the psychological stress linked to the expectations of excelling in a given situation.
The effects of pressure are profound and often disruptive. It can cloud our thoughts, hinder clear thinking, evoke frustration, and lead to uncharacteristic behaviour. Even those of us accustomed to performing at high levels under stress can experience a downgraded performance, decreased capacity utilization, increased errors, and a heightened risk of failure. Pressure, it seems, has a pervasive influence.
Our professional lives often expose us to substantial pressure, yet there are limited avenues for releasing the mounting discomfort and underlying frustration that accompanies it. Regardless of the source of this pressure, its impact resonates through our ability to discern, make decisions, and ultimately perform.

Lessons from Athletes

Athletes, too, face a myriad of stressors and challenges akin to those they encounter during competitions. These experiences contribute to the development of coping abilities and enhance performance in future high-pressure situations. Athletes immerse themselves in deliberate, high-intensity conditions to practice their skills and learn how to manage anxiety and nerves while under immense pressure.
