[Handling High Pressure Moments – CHAT TEXT]

From Jon Lisby : It may be high pressure but if you’re paid millions and practice all week long – scoring a penalty should not be stressful

From Godfrey Lancashire : Jon, they were not thinking about money then!

From Nigel Kirby : Muscle memory

From Alex Kent : If you are using the football penalties to highlight pressure, please don’t forget that there is a penalty taker AND a goalkeeper. There is pressure on both – and the goalkeeper has more penalties to face!

From Amy Rowlinson : I have a much better alternative for penalty shoot outs to decide these games.

From Nigel Kirby : Should he have taken his penalty first and not last when even more pressure was on him to score?

From Eva Fanari : Amy, I’m curious.

From Alex Malamoud : My mike is not working

From Eva Fanari : And if you can’t tap because there are too many eyes on you, just applying pressure does the trick as well.

From Tim Durkin : Thanks Eva!

From Jon Lisby : Professional footballers have the benefit of mental awareness training under pressure.

From Tim Durkin : Wherever there is success there is a process. Learn and trust the process, Think of nothing but the process.

From Alex Kent : Preparation – many scenarios can be identified and worked through before they actually occur.

From Jill English : Preparation, preparation, preparation (or as Tim says, rely on the process)

From Paul Coleman : Emotional Freedom technique EFT

From Godfrey Lancashire : Big pressure can ofter come unexpectedly, illness, death, accident where you just don’t have preparation, you have to believe in “yourself”

From Jill English : Focus outside yourself, takes a lot of pressure off
