Handling Game Pressure With a Plan Handling the pressure of the game and especially in big moments are often too much for players. The bright lights, expectations, criticism, nervousness and silence are enough to make a player fall to his knees.� � Players try to reduce the pressure by remembering to embrace the moment, breathe, stay focused on the process and to downsize the importance. They have to remember that they�ll have multiple opportunities. It's important to let go of winning and not to over do it. Not every story needs a hero.� � One of the best ways to handle pressure is to push yourself in training and test your limits. Facing game pressures can be handled with a plan. By practicing with the same force and intensity as you would in a game will create less pressure in the moment, because you�ve done it time and time again. It's just a matter of execution. It's important to have self motivation and encouragement in those moments. If you�re mentally defeated, the job is already done.� � In this course, Dave Starling shares how he approaches the pressure that players often face and the best way to tackle it head on.
