WHY WE CHOKE UNDER PRESSURE – AND HOW TO AVOID IT



You are well prepared for a high stakes test, there is no logical reason to fail yet on the day, under pressure to succeed, you mess it up. Alternatively, you are a top scorer and you are tasked with taking a crucial penalty shot. During practice, you have never failed but during the Champions League match, you drop the ball into the goalie’s lap. These are both examples of choking under pressure. Do your research to understand this phenomenon better and write an essay about the problem and how to deal with it.
