How to perform with pressure

Many of us will have had times where we’ve experienced some level of pressure, but had to perform regardless. Looking back over my career, there are plenty of times where I felt an increased pressure to perform—a memorable example for me is the World Championships final in the 4x100m. Here, we had a good opportunity to win a medal (which is something I really wanted to achieve personally), with the heightened awareness that comes with knowing that three other athletes’ dreams depend on me delivering a good performance when it matters.
