LEARN TO THRIVE UNDER PRESSURE WITH A LEADING PERFORMANCE COACH

Pressure is everywhere. Whether it''s the stress of hitting an important work deadline, an upcoming job interview, or an end of year exam, it gets the better of us all sometimes. So, how can we achieve our best under pressure and use it to our advantage?

After years of teaching, researching, and coaching, Alred has seen first-hand the consequences that pressure can produce and has created the ultimate universal guide to overcoming this for anyone who needs it. His lessons include:

Mastering the physical symptoms of anxiety
Understanding the power of language
Improving our skills and ability to think effectively when under pressure
The power and importance of practice
Managing our expectations under pressure
Alleviating sensory shut down when extreme pressure hits

No matter what life throws at you, Dave Alred will equip you with the techniques to face it.
