Feeling the weight of performing under pressure? This will help.

Pressure is an ever-present force when we compete—pressure to qualify and perform at a certain level. Sometimes the pressure is external, from friends or family. But most of the time, it's internal, bubbling up from our own expectations and desires.

Often, we don't recognize the effects of pressure until we are standing at the gate with sweaty palms or butterflies battling in our stomachs. While some of us embrace a little pressure, most people try really hard to avoid feeling those performance jitters!

We can't eliminate pressure. But the good news is that no matter how pressure affects us and our performance, we can learn skills to adapt and become tolerant to pressure to achieve the goals we've set for ourselves.
