    Your favorite athlete closes in for a win; the crowd holds its breath, and at the crucial moment ... she misses the shot. That competitor just experienced the phenomenon known as “choking,” where despite months, even years, of practice, a person fails right when it matters most. Why does this happen, and what can we do to avoid it? Noa Kageyama and Pen-Pen Chen explain why we choke under pressure.
    Lesson by Noa Kageyama and Pen-Pen Chen, animation by Olesya Shchukina.

    I agree with the choking theory. Points that are great from the video:
    1) The distraction theory suggests that the performace suffers when the mind is preoccupied with worries, doubts, or fears, instead of focusing its attention on performing the task at hand.
    2) We usually need to perfom actions subconsciously, instead of looking at the precise details.
    3) We need to practice under stressful conditions. We must be accustomed to pressure.
    4) We need to extol the virtues of a pre-performance routine, like taking deep breaths, repeating a cue word, or doing a rhythmic sequence of movements.
    Points that I'd like to add here to address stressful situations:
    1) We shouldn't ask "What If?", cause that will make us to panic.
    2) We must stay positive in the situation.
    3) We must make jokes. By making jokes, we don't take everything seriously.
    4) No mater whatever we do, we should remember that this isn't so bad.
    5) We must have some trust on external or internal things.

    There's a manager at work who is fine when not in front of a crowd (where he has to speak every day in small shift meetings). When he has to talk, he _sounds_ fine. His voice is smooth, but his hands are shaking.
    I admire his courage to face that level of nerves on a daily basis. It's worse when we have the big, all-store meetings and he's in front of hundreds. He gets up, does his part, but his hands tremble so badly, I wonder what it feels like in his heart...

    Exactly. I once wrote a math contest without being informed that it was a really important contest and did really well. But when I practiced for months for another contest, I forgot everything once I got there and did poorly. That’s why I make myself believe that tests are merely homework exercises and take them with a casual mindset.

    Perfection is myth at least I think that way because if anything or anyone is perfect there is no room for imagination, no space for intelligence or ability or improvement. For me a perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. To be better than anything or anyone that came before you but not perfect. In other words you may think you are at another level but the moment you started talking about perfection you embraced an impossible concept and had already lost to me 😂✌🏻

Throughout his whole speech was a quote, *"Grace under pressure."* And somewhat it came to me. Just act as if you're explaining to a friend, to a classmate on that certain topic. You don't have to delve into it too much.

    - [00:06]🏆 Understanding Choking Under Pressure
    - Choking, a common phenomenon in sports and other high-pressure activities.
    - Two main theories explaining choking: Distraction theories and Explicit monitoring theories.
    - Pressure can lead to poor performance on memory-intensive tasks.
    - [01:32]🧠 How Pressure Affects Cognitive Performance
    - Pressure can lead to overanalyzing tasks and interfering with automatic skills.
    - Automatic tasks are most vulnerable to choking under pressure.
    - Some individuals are more susceptible to choking, especially if they are self-conscious and anxious.
    - [02:58]🎯 Strategies to Avoid Choking
    - Practicing under stressful conditions can help reduce choking.
    - Establishing a pre-performance routine, such as deep breaths or cue words, can improve performance under pressure.
    - Having an external focus on the ultimate goal is more effective than an internal focus on mechanics.
