Performance pressure is an urgency to raise performance to attain desirable consequences and to avoid negative consequences.

Pressure itself is not a bad thing. It is a necessary ingredient to achieve peak levels of performance.

Too little pressure and you are not mentally or physically ready to perform. Too much pressure and your mind creates negative and stressful thoughts. Your body tightens up and performance is hindered.

Every athlete has an optimum level of pressure that helps them reach their peak in performance.

By gaining an understanding of this “pressure principle” you can learn how to move your mind and your body into the peak range of performance pressure.

The most valuable lessons in life are timeless.

Their import is a constant across the decades—or longer — serving as models that guide and shape our thinking and perceptions. The key is to recognize when we are being presented with such a lesson, since their presence is often not obvious and their instructive significance frequently escapes our notice.

The exigencies of a national (family or personal) crisis place demands on a country (people) that can almost never be seen in advance or planned for. From one day to the next, conditions change, circumstances shift and previously reliable relationships are thrown into uncertainty. It’s easy from the safety of time and distance to claim that such life-altering events should have been foreseen, but at the time of their occurrence, most radical incidents come as a complete surprise.
