Do you perform at your best under pressure, or does pressure keep you from accessing what you're capable of?
In this Performing Under Pressure episode of Coaching In Session, Michael Rearden sits down with performance coach Coach Dave to explore the mental game behind pressure, confidence, stress, and peak performance.
Coach Dave explains why pressure can affect our ability to access our best selves, how confidence is developed through preparation, and why failure should be treated as information rather than a setback. They also explore the impact of social media, the importance of being present, and the difference between short-term pressure and long-term stress.
The conversation goes beyond performance, exploring resilience, fatherhood, purpose, mission, focus, mentorship, and the process of reconnecting with your best self.
If you're ready to strengthen your mental game, perform with greater confidence, and learn how to stay present when pressure arrives, this conversation is for you.
