Excelling with Pressure
Teaching Skills To Help Pupils Thrive With The Different Pressures They Face In Life
Description
Pupils are taught psychological skills that help them excel within the different pressure-reducing situations they face. Post-workshop, pupils will develop their ability to take control of the build-up to a pressure enduring event, think clearly under pressure and recover quickly from setbacks in the moment. They will discover the power in ‘letting go’ of worries.
We angle the workshop to cover exams, music, drama and sports pressures. The session will be delivered by a practitioner who is highly experienced working in sports psychology support with a plethora of international athletes. As with all HIP workshops, a fun and interactive format lie at its core. The strategies the pupils learn will be practical and robustly supported by research.

Students will learn how to maintain and develop a sense of belief in the different scenarios they face in their lives. The psychological skill of self-talk is explored.
Recovery
