Book description
People in sport, business, the arts, and in virtually all walks of life are increasingly challenged with the pressure to perform and excel. In business the screws are continually being tightened. Customers need things done faster, better, and less expensively. In sport the push to compete and excel is ever present and the ethic is you are only as good as your last season or last game. Performing Under Pressure is for anyone interested in insights and techniques that will help them to succeed... and do so with more ease. The book is filled with a variety of engaging and illustrative examples and a training program to master the elements of performing under pressure.
