Hi Everyone!
Have you ever choked under pressure? Maybe it was the speech you had to make? Perhaps finishing up that term paper? Perhaps making the game winning goal/point? Maybe asking that girl out? ;-) Why does this happen? The February edition of Scientific American Mind has an article entitled, "How To Avoid Choking Under Pressure" by Elizabeth Svoboda. The article discusses how thoughts an behaviors you think will help under stressful situations may actually be causing you to choke. Hopefully if you change these thoughts & behaviors you will choke less in the future.
