Title:- Developing the ability to perform under pressure

 

The ability to perform under pressure is necessary to achieve goals in various domains of life. Individuals who are unable to employ effective coping skills may underperform and experience an increase in negative emotions and ill-being. Therefore, the overarching aim of the proposed research will be to test the effectiveness of interventions that aim to develop coping skills for performance under pressure. The proposed research project aligns with the key objectives of SPARC (Sport and Physical Activity Research Centre) to produce evidenced based research around the theme of performance enhancement in which aims to understand the limits of performance in a range of contexts, that leads to modified behaviour and thereby improve performance.
