Managing Star Performers in High-Pressure Situations It is generally accepted that success produces confidence,and confidence increases the ability to handle pressure.While success can indeed produce confidence,it can also increase multiply expectations and raise pressure to unhealthy levels over time.
Even the greatest performers feel pressure more than you might think.Researcher Geir Jordet studied 366 kicks from 37 penalty shootouts held at the world's three largest soccer tournaments.His unusual finding was that superstars scored only 65% of the time vs the 74% overall average.Even more striking,they scored far less than players who would later go on to win the same awards.These "future stars" scored 89% of the time.In short,players who have the skill but not yet the status(地位)that comes with winning a major award performed far better than those who had both the skill and jye.ai.Status,it turns out,can be a burden.
Leading or coaching highly successful performers through a high-pressure event requires reducing the overwhelming(壓倒性的)baggage that they may attach to failure.You can start to accomplish this by asking one key question:What are the things that are most important to you—that are essential to your being—and won't change regardless of the outcome?
On May 26,2021,outstanding tennis player Naomi Osaka announced on Twitter that due to her mental health,she would not do any press interviews at the French Open.The volume(量)of tasks and distractions that surround performance can dramatically increase pressure.And as success and status build,so does volume.The requests for Osaka's time at the French Open in 2021 were vastly greater than they were in 2016 during her first Grand Slam event.
In response to the increase in volume,Osaka—like all of us—had two choices:accommodate more or remove the volume that was creating the most pressure.She chose the latter,which is exactly the right response to pressure that comes from volume.
Few of us will ever know the pressure of carrying the expectations of 300 million people into a physically and mentally demanding environment.But,through thoughtful conversations that aim to keep importance in viewpoint and simplify volume,we can help our own stars carry the burden of success a little more lightly.
