Leaders Performance Advisor Rachel Vickery discusses the importance of front-loading strategies when moving on from failure and setbacks in high-pressure scenarios.<\/p>\n \n \n \n

\n

\u201cI often talk about the difference between fixing broken and creating awesome,\u201d Rachel Vickery tells the Leaders Performance Podcast.<\/h6>\n

The performance coach, who guides and supports high performers to excel, lead and thrive in high pressure and high stakes environments, is discussing the importance of preparing athletes for the high pressure scenarios they face in competition.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t need a \u2018get out of jail card\u2019 in the first place if you haven\u2019t ended up in jail in the first place,” she continues.<\/p>\n

\u201cPerformance under pressure is less about what happens in the moment of pressure, it\u2019s more about \u2018what have you done?\u2019 everywhere else that\u2019s led you into that moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the course of our chat, Rachel, a former gymnast who works across the worlds of sport, military and medicine, to name a few, explores:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • The importance of helping athletes to build buffer and front-loading strategies to deal with human stress responses [6:00];<\/li>\n
  • The need for awareness and understanding of those stress responses so that athletes don\u2019t feel they are \u2018going crazy’ [13:00];<\/li>\n
  • The role of impostor syndrome in feeding arousal states during competition [23:00];<\/li>\n
  • Why it is necessary to aim for excellence rather than perfection [28:00].<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
