Performance Under Pressure

Performance under pressure refers to how effectively an individual or group can perform tasks or make decisions when faced with stressful or challenging situations. This might occur during high-stakes exams, competitions, or emergencies. Factors influencing performance include stress management, focus, preparation, and adaptability. People may respond differently; some thrive in pressure, while others may struggle. Techniques like deep breathing, positive visualization, and practice can enhance performance by helping individuals manage anxiety and maintain clarity of thought in demanding circumstances. Understanding one's own response to pressure can lead to improved performance in such situations.
