In 2012, the Royals were 11 games from making the playoffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Royals steady ascent over the years can be attributed to poise under pressure and led them to the 2014 World Series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A great example of the Royals\u2019 ability to handle pressure and maintain their poise was exhibited in their Wild Card game against the Oakland As.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Royals were trailing the As 7-3 heading into the bottom of the 8th inning. The Royals scored 3 runs in the 8th and one run in the 9th forcing the game into extra innings&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The As scored one run in the top of the 12th and the Royals responded with two runs in the bottom of the inning en route to the 2014 World Series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Royals manager Ned Yost described the poised and confident attitude as his team headed into the bottom of the 9th inning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>YOST<\/strong>: \u201cWell, your mind wants to think it&#8217;s dire until our guys come in the dugout, and they didn&#8217;t think it was dire. They were like, let&#8217;s go, we&#8217;ve got this, let&#8217;s go, we can do this, we can do this, to a man. It was impressive to hear the confidence that they had in their voice and the intensity that they had in their voice and the will that they had in their voice, and when they came in, I&#8217;m like, yeah, they&#8217;re right. They&#8217;re not going to be denied.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yost explained that poise is a habit built upon over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>YOST<\/strong>: \u201cYou have to be in those situations in order for them to become routine, and the more situations that you&#8217;re in, the easier it is to handle them. Now, the last two weeks of the season, we&#8217;ve been through that. It&#8217;s starting to get more and more routine, and that&#8217;s just experience, and every game that we play, every high leverage, high caliber game that we play just adds to that experience level for them, and they understand how to handle it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Try_these_tips_to_be_poised_under_pressure\"><\/span>Try these tips to be poised under pressure:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tip #1: Understand that each pressure situation provides you with valuable experience to better manage pressure in future competitions. It&#8217;s not only a great experience, but an opportunity to learn and grow.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tip #2: Remind yourself of previous moments when you rose to the occasion and positively responded to pressure. What where you thinking about and feeling at that time?
