Whether you have an upcoming race or are simply under a lot of stress, you owe it to yourself to listen to this insightful episode. Coach Liz Waterstraat, with host Sarah Bowen Shea, discusses Performing Under Pressure: The Science of Doing Your Best When It Matters Most by Hendrie Weisinger and J.P. Pawliw-Fry. Coach Liz shares some important lessons gleaned from the book, such as viewing something as a challenge instead of a crisis—then learning to thrive on a challenge. The hosts talk about the effective strategy of “shrinking” a pressure-filled moment, and how a perceived victory can translate to a real win. Plus, Coach Liz tells a tale of a solo, pre-race psych-session…in a port-a-potty. Good stuff!
