Episode 45: How to stay cool in high-pressure situations (the psychology of top performance)


Listen Later

In today's episode, Davis and Orion respond to another listener question. This one is all about staying cool in high-pressure situations where the stakes are high. Drawing on research in performance psychology, Orion discusses the importance of focusing on the process, and practicing indifference with respect to the outcome. Davis speaks on some of his own experiences as a competitive athlete. All is generalizable to the GRE and high-stakes testing.
