What is clutch psychology?

We define a clutch performance as any better-than-usual performance that occurs under pressure, and our research suggests that anyone can be clutch – provided they're in the right mental state. For example, feeling like you're in control of the situation – in sports or anything else – can help a lot.

How do you do under pressure?

Here are five steps to take to build this approach to performing well under pressure:.
Separate yourself from your thoughts. ... .
Practise labelling your feelings more accurately. ... .
Replace forms of self-talk that increase the pressure. ... .
Break some of your own rules. ... .
Identify and remember your values..
