The difference between good and great performers isn't talent or skill but how they use stress as fuel rather than letting it become a barrier.
Champions develop a different response to pressure, training their brains to heighten awareness instead of experiencing restricted vision.
WIN IT ALL WEDNESDAY SUITE SPOTS:
• Under pressure, most people experience "attentional narrowing," where the brain restricts perception
• This narrowing explains why skilled people make mistakes when stressed
• The tunnel vision response evolved to help our ancestors focus on immediate threats
• Champions learn to use stress energy to enhance awareness rather than limit it
• Practice "pressure shifting" by taking a pattern-interrupt breath (longer exhale than inhale)
• After the breath, consciously expand your awareness and notice three new things in your environment
• This simple technique interrupts the amygdala's narrowing effect and helps you see more options
• Ancient wisdom in Proverbs 4:25 describes the focused yet open awareness of peak performers
