About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Learn to thrive under pressure with a leading performance coach.

Pressure is everywhere. Whether it's the stress of hitting an important work deadline, an upcoming job interview, or an end of year exam, it gets the better of us all sometimes. So, how can we achieve our best under pressure and use it to our advantage?

In The Pressure Principle, Dave Alred shares eight practical, ground-breaking lessons that you can easily apply to your day-to-day life to help you deal effectively with pressure and perform at your very best. After years of teaching, researching, and coaching, Alred has seen first-hand the consequences that pressure can produce and has created the ultimate universal guide to overcoming this for anyone who needs it. His lessons include:

  • Mastering the physical symptoms of anxiety
  • Understanding the power of language
  • Improving our skills and ability to think effectively when under pressure
  • The power and importance of practice
  • Managing our expectations under pressure
  • Alleviating sensory shut down when extreme pressure hits

No matter what life throws at you, Dave Alred will equip you with the techniques to face it.
