during major competitions that they find it difficult to perform when it matters most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If pressure has such an impact on performance, ignoring its presence will only feed it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By understanding the process of pressure, you can better prepared and equipped to perform in critical moments of competitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what exactly is pressure? How is pressure created? What can athletes do to better perform under pressure?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_pressure\"><\/span>What is pressure?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Pressure usually refers to the feelings an athlete has about performing in a sporting situation. For example, \u201cI get so anxious when I have to serve for the match\u201d or \u201cI can\u2019t seem to concentrate when the game is on the line.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pressure manifests itself physically (increased adrenaline, breathing, heart rate, etc), mentally (positive or negative thoughts about the event) and emotionally (positive feelings of anticipation, excitement or negative feelings of fear, anxiety).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_is_pressure_created\"><\/span>How is pressure created?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The sporting event contains no pressure in and of itself. This is important&#8230; there is zero pressure in a sporting event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pressure is an internal experience (a feeling) that is created by the athlete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pressure is created by how you perceive a particular athletic event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How you view an athletic event will determine your internal response. (Do you see the situation as a challenge or threat?) Ultimately, your perception of the event will determine how you perform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Former Los Angeles Dodger manager provided this insight to pressure: \u201cPressure is a word that is misused in our vocabulary. When you start thinking of pressure, it\u2019s because you\u2019ve started to think of failure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you fear what might happen or focus on the outcome, you worry about meeting your or others&#8217; expectations. This translates into a tentative and controlled performance making it hard to take risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_can_athletes_do_to_better_perform_under_pressure\"><\/span>What can athletes do to better perform under pressure?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First, you need to understand that you create \u201cpressure\u201d for yourself. If you created pressure, then you can dismantle it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stay focused on the process. Ask yourself what is your job right now:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Is it to win the game or take the shot?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is it to win the gold medal or perform the routine?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Then focus on exactly what you need to do in that moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You also want to understand the expectations you feel to perform well or win&#8211;from yourself and others:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Are you afraid of not performing up to your own expectations?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are you worried about not meeting others&#8217; expectations?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Remind yourself why you started in your sport in the first place. The sport hasn&#8217;t changed at all since your early years of competing. Find your fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Try_these_tips_to_dismantle_pressure\"><\/span>Try these tips to dismantle pressure:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tip #1: Who do you feel the most expectations to perform well? How valid are these expectations or are they only &#8220;in your head&#8221;?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tip #2: Identify your job. Anytime you notice your focus drifting, ask yourself, \u201cWhat is my job right now?\u201d Re-focus on that task!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Successful athletes have learned how to build self-confidence and stop self-doubt.
