I agree with the choking theory. Points that are great from the video: 1) The distraction theory suggests that the performace suffers when the mind is preoccupied with worries, doubts, or fears, instead of focusing its attention on performing the task at hand. 2) We usually need to perfom actions subconsciously, instead of looking at the precise details. 3) We need to practice under stressful conditions. We must be accustomed to pressure. 4) We need to extol the virtues of a pre-performance routine, like taking deep breaths, repeating a cue word, or doing a rhythmic sequence of movements. Points that I'd like to add here to address stressful situations: 1) We shouldn't ask "What If?", cause that will make us to panic. 2) We must stay positive in the situation. 3) We must make jokes. By making jokes, we don't take everything seriously. 4) No mater whatever we do, we should remember that this isn't so bad. 5) We must have some trust on external or internal things.

I play the guitar. And there's songs that I play for literally years that I'm no longer the one that knows how to play them, that's my fingers knowledge. And whenever I try to focus on It my fingers will fail

focusing on the process instead of product, helps me a lot whenever I’m stressful by my own emotions.

It is interesting to see how more "Neurotypical" people interact with their environment, tasks and information. As someone who is learning disabled I need to have other organizational supports to be successful. This takes the pressure off processing the gaps in my memory and access. Great info!

There's a manager at work who is fine when not in front of a crowd (where he has to speak every day in small shift meetings). When he has to talk, he _sounds_ fine. His voice is smooth, but his hands are shaking. I admire his courage to face that level of nerves on a daily basis. It's worse when we have the big, all-store meetings and he's in front of hundreds. He gets up, does his part, but his hands tremble so badly, I wonder what it feels like in his heart...

Things i do When ever im in pressure 1. Take deep breathes and be present in the moment 2. Just have the practiced things in my mind other than that nothing else 3.calm down and improvise when needed 4.focus on my goal 5.stay positive and always think that you can do it (this is so imp cause it gives u a mental boost) Hope this helped😄

Thanks 😊 for this video! I had a public speaking assignment where I had to give an oral report at college. And this video helped me a lot!

I agree with the fact that when you start thinking about something which you can do with muscle memory/subconsciously, you choke. I play the piano, and I always learn a song in a way that it is in my muscle memory so that I don't make mistakes. Whenever my coach asks me to play the song, or if somebody else is seeing me play, I just start thinking about what I am playing and mess up everything. Loved this video, it was very helpful.

I still remember how I got thrown into an extemporaneous speech contest back in 9th grade (actually it was just last last year lol). The teacher in charge gave a speech, advices and all. Throughout his whole speech was a quote, *"Grace under pressure."* And somewhat it came to me. Just act as if you're explaining to a friend, to a classmate on that certain topic. You don't have to delve into it too much.

I love that you guys added a fractal shape to the pressure idea

Hello there, just wanted to share my experiences with failing driving tests multiple times which brought me to this video. I have an anxiety disorder which is getting worse, I have been at the hospital a few times this month due to unknown cause of pain that has been bothering me for years. Anyways, driving has always been a skill I knew I"ll be good at and love it but when it came to tests (final tests, on the road) I panicked and failed 3 times. I made mistakes I have never made on my driving lessons which shooked me and my instructor. I was just to overwhelmed with fear of failure, school, finals and other personal problems. After every test I have failed my confidence just kept falling down to the ground. I have a test this week after being sick for a solid month. I can't let stress overwhelm me so I will try to keep my mind on the end goal, not the performance and details. Thank you for this video. If somebody who read this has some other advice I would love to hear it.

TED-Ed has the best content, loved this video.

"Pressure is a privilege." ...why this sounds like a revolution to me?

Exactly. I once wrote a math contest without being informed that it was a really important contest and did really well. But when I practiced for months for another contest, I forgot everything once I got there and did poorly. That’s why I make myself believe that tests are merely homework exercises and take them with a casual mindset.

This is so true, I remember practicing day and night for months to prepare for a badminton competition, only for me to fail because I was too focused on tactics and stuff like where to place my feet

Hi

Right on time! Tks a lot

Thanks, I didn't know that I need this. Currently working as a service crew right now and all the tips applies to me.

I really need this!

I have to say this is very true. I am a police officer, when I am dispatched as primary to let’s say a multiple crime scene shooting there are a lot of things I have to do and people to guide under pressure and stress. I find myself relaxing and just focusing on each task at hand. I create a quick plan based on my training, experience, common sense. Once the plan is created in my head I tackle each one at a time, otherwise I find myself becoming brain scrambled which leads to frustration when questioned and stressed when multitasking.

That internal vs external focus is gonna be huge. Thank you

this makes sense. I always get nervous during math class and it makes everything harder but outside of class I can do it fine.

I'm bad at being calm in public or private. I am best being a silent presence but when I do talk it's crucial I know what to say. Thought process is so important, knowing when to expect feelings of pressure to come on makes it easier to react appropriately.

Kageyama does very well under stress, he got that from the volleyball matches and dealing with Hinata

Thank you, this helped alot.

this is the best educationa, video for me. Thanks to TED-Ed

This would help me a lot, most of the time I put myself under pressure even if I don't need to. I can't express myself properly if I focus on what I am about to say, I forget the choreography because I'm thinking about the next stepping, and I mess up when I think about how the other people look at me. At least I know what to do now. Thanks! ❤ I hope I don't scare myself again.

Hello

I tried to keep calm but he started his job right after reaching to the bed without making me anymore nervous!!

I love TED-Ed :O Its so good I love watching!!! TY

This is so helpful thank you

Watching this and thinking back to all those many times I (might've) messed up in front of a large crowd gave me a panic attack (~'-')~

The best way to be calm under pressure is to believe everything will be fine at the end...
