TED-Ed if you haven't heard of the diet?? It's to help people with 'Obiesity, Cancer, Autism, Disease, Blood pressure. People get off pills off this Diet!! And would like to understand it in those cartoon!!! It's the new thing everyone is doing.. it sucks because unfortunately, I have a hard time understanding it.. but I have a book and been researching!! Would LOVE to see you make a Video of things like that!! It helps alot with my Autism/Comprehension Skills... Like understanding it.... Thank you so much... Xoxo
i wish i could love myself 3:54 did you not hear the the pause and the change of of pitch in her voice. He’s right based on how she said it. You’re wrong.
So basically don’t get distracted by other thoughts but don’t think too much about what you’re doing. Just focus on the big picture and go with the flow.
That's probably the purpose of any kind of training -- to get the trainee to the point at which things can be done without thinking -- thereby freeing the mind to think strategically.
yea same, jus gotta learn a new trait called dont caring and speak your mind, or from ur heart without worrying what the other person will think, cus at the end of the day you always got yourself
Tbf it can be scary like im doing some volunteerin using a new tool in park and ppl start looking at me i get agitated n feel like im doing it wrong asf lmao hate being neagtively judged but am changing ittt. + when i say something unsure i say it quietly so they can't hear it UH MY CONFIDENCE
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.
the thing that’s helped me personally get over my issues with pressure, and even physical pain, is just reminding myself that the feeling simply, “can’t last forever.” then it all almost immediately melts away
Whenever I'm in a stressful condition, I imagine myself in a different world where I've already achieved my goal. 1) This helps me feel less stressed about getting it done. 2) It allows me to imagine HOW I want to do it, so I have an accurate plan.
1. Practice under stressful conditions. 2. Pre-performance routines- taking few deep breaths, repeating a cue word, doing rhythmic sequence of movements. 3. External focus on the ultimate goal
lost but hopefull Therapy is amazing. I highly recommend it. But incidentally you have to be willing to be completely honest with your therapist because it’s essentially talking to yourself with a educated friend and they can only help you if they know what’s really wrong
@@feliciadawnauthor Thanks c: that was my problem the first time, when I went to a school counselor 😅 but she also believed on everything too easily lol and didn't question anything
I remember the solo concert as a guitarist I had once. I was practicing hard for it. And the minutes before I went on stage I really forgot everything. I tried to think about the chords and solos... All were gone. Then I put the guitar on my hands and it was all back luckyly 🤣😎 Totally gets back to my memory when I see this video. Thanks for uploading! Will try to learn from it!
I had a teacher the told me to say these four words when I was under pressure. “I can do it, I can do it, I can do it.” It helped almost every time because it got the pressure to go down. Ps. It also helped with you took a deep breathe along with it
"I didn't kick..... It kicked all by itself!" "It's like a finger pointing away to the moon. Don't concentrate on the finger or you will miss all that heavenly glory." ― Bruce Lee
Anyone who plays the piano, do u guys ever freeze up and forget everything when you start thinking about which notes your fingers are pressing? Whenever I overthink I ALWAYS mess up.
I play guitar and the same thing happens when I overthink stuff. I just play what I know and don’t question how I know it when it comes down to pressure
My brain just goes all over the place. My knees start shaking, so it's hard not to lose focus. Weird thing is whenever I look back at my performances I never see the shaky knee and I never look like I'm nervous.
I play the guitar. And there's songs that I play for literally years that I'm no longer the one that knows how to play them, that's my fingers knowledge. And whenever I try to focus on It my fingers will fail
its the sweet spot where the magic happens... under pressure only means your ego has a greater hold on you when you decide to stay disciplined enough you feel like your fate is set in stone and the self fulfilling fallacy takes ahold.
Performing at a high level under pressure and with calm and enjoyment are not only possible but easier than the other way around. It's a completely learnable skill
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...
How do we simulate practicing under pressure though? Like how do you simulate the pressure of a real exam or a real match being played live in front of an audience?
@@p10rambo Well, that's the problem with our education system. Exams are supposed to help diagnose the things we don't understand and THEN compensate for it until we get it, Not to label us as "good" or "bad" students. At least, that's how I want it to work.
I could’ve really done with this during uni for presentations! I loved the quote at the start, (the good kind of) pressure is definitely a privilege. 💛
Hello Katie How are you dear I see you everywhere Can you please tell Me the trick to get like on every comment I write *I know you love to comment but hate to to reply,but this time can you please make an exception 😉
Hello there, just wanted to share my experiences with failing driving tests multiple times which brought me to this video. I have an anxiety disorder which is getting worse, I have been at the hospital a few times this month due to unknown cause of pain that has been bothering me for years. Anyways, driving has always been a skill I knew I"ll be good at and love it but when it came to tests (final tests, on the road) I panicked and failed 3 times. I made mistakes I have never made on my driving lessons which shooked me and my instructor. I was just to overwhelmed with fear of failure, school, finals and other personal problems. After every test I have failed my confidence just kept falling down to the ground. I have a test this week after being sick for a solid month. I can't let stress overwhelm me so I will try to keep my mind on the end goal, not the performance and details. Thank you for this video. If somebody who read this has some other advice I would love to hear it.
Kača Žárská man, just forget everything else and just focus on studying. Forget about marks/pressure of passing/etc and focus only on what you are studying. That's what I usually do to deal with pressure. Best of luck:)
Good luck, everyone! Stay hydrated, eat properly, get lots of good sleep, and beyond that maybe our lesson on practicing effectively can offer some advice: th-cam.com/video/f2O6mQkFiiw/w-d-xo.html
Things i do When ever im in pressure 1. Take deep breathes and be present in the moment 2. Just have the practiced things in my mind other than that nothing else 3.calm down and improvise when needed 4.focus on my goal 5.stay positive and always think that you can do it (this is so imp cause it gives u a mental boost) Hope this helped😄
And think about it in sequence whenever you get up to tee off on the first hole where on a busy day there's a crowd there watching you. No pressure. No pressure at all.
I agree with the fact that when you start thinking about something which you can do with muscle memory/subconsciously, you choke. I play the piano, and I always learn a song in a way that it is in my muscle memory so that I don't make mistakes. Whenever my coach asks me to play the song, or if somebody else is seeing me play, I just start thinking about what I am playing and mess up everything. Loved this video, it was very helpful.
I’m a literally a person who fails right when it matters most. I hadn’t known the reason but this video told me. I hadn’t practice under stress environment to perform better. The “choking” phenomenon beat on me so I try to take a few deep breaths, repeat a cue word, and do a rhythmic sequence of movements. Those routine works help me to jump into stressful practice.
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.
I am preaparing for my third motorcycle driving exam. I am a good motorclycle driver, but I missed two exams. I will watch it again near the test, I think is very helpful.
It is interesting to see how more "Neurotypical" people interact with their environment, tasks and information. As someone who is learning disabled I need to have other organizational supports to be successful. This takes the pressure off processing the gaps in my memory and access. Great info!
I always feel a need to note down the things in such videos, but sometimes I get lazy or maybe due to something I'm unable to write down the things, but some people drop the summary of the whole video that is really sweet of them, so thank you to u guys!!
2:36 this video is amazing, I now know what has been ruining my javelin throwing. I’m thinking to much on the mechanics and I just need to consider that I’ll throw it far, thank you ted ed!
I quit performing dance recitals, due to severe anxiety. Recently I've been at a cross roads on whether to keep training or quit altogether. This video explains a lot. Thank you.
I still remember how I got thrown into an extemporaneous speech contest back in 9th grade (actually it was just last last year lol). The teacher in charge gave a speech, advices and all. 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.
Thank you for explaining some of the reasons why we choke, and ways we can prevent this. Practice under pressure with focus can prepare us for important events that will tie into our living full out.
the seconds explanation makes a lot of sense, I've always been naturally really good with sports once I do the fundamentals a few times. Since my body's used to being in auto-pilot when I play I choke when I start to think about how I'm going to execute a move, thanks Ted-Ed
This is so true, I remember practicing day and night for months to prepare for a badminton competition, only for me to fail because I was too focused on tactics and stuff like where to place my feet
TED-Ed, every single one of your videos never fail to amaze me. I love your channel (even though I just discovered it), and have watched your videos. They are all very useful and I'm glad I found your educational channel. Thanks to your videos, they have helped me a lot in my daily problems. Keep up the good work and I hope to see more quality content coming our way!!! Love from Singapore
Harus bisa manage mood kita spaya bisa focus, calm n confident. Buat haters n hate comments diabaikan saja jangan sampai merusak mood n focus kita, krn memang itu tujuan mereka. Keep fighting!
This would help me a lot, most of the time I put myself under pressure even if I don't need to. I can't express myself properly if I focus on what I am about to say, I forget the choreography because I'm thinking about the next stepping, and I mess up when I think about how the other people look at me. At least I know what to do now. Thanks! ❤ I hope I don't scare myself again.
Not training under pressure, makes you fail under pressure Practice, under pressure, with focus not on the ball, and with that glorious end goal in sight, makes perfect
Hahaha! I guess I should thank my friends who made me practice playing the piano under pressure before performing in a small concert. At the time I thought it was so weird that I kept asking them to stop doing it because they were literally staring intensely at me right in front of the piano as I was playing.
This would happen to me all the time when I was playing volleyball. I was quite a good player but everytime I went to a match I would constantly think "what if i do terribly?" and of course I would end up choking. I mean it didn't help that my own team always hated me. I just couldn't take the pressure anymore and had to quit :(
Pressure pushing down on me Pressing down on you, no man ask for Under pressure that burns a building down Splits a family in two Puts people on streets Um ba ba be De day da Ee day da, that's okay It's the terror of knowing what the world is about Watching some good friends screaming "Let me out!" Pray tomorrow gets me higher Pressure on people, people on streets Day day de mm hm Da da da ba ba Okay Chipping around, kick my brains around the floor These are the days it never rains but it pours Ee do ba be Ee da ba ba ba Um bo bo Be lap People on streets Ee da de da de People on streets Ee da de da de da de da It's the terror of knowing what the world is about Watching some good friends screaming 'Let me out

why did you change the title from how not to choke under pressure to how to stay calm under pressure?
You perform the best when you don’t care
Believe it

True. But if you don't care why you gonna try? To earn something that you don't appreciate?

@@MAAU-tz1yc 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I loose my train of thought when I realize people are actually paying attention to what I'm saying.
same like when speaking if i make eye contact with someone my brain just shuts even if they are close friends
yea same, jus gotta learn a new trait called dont caring and speak your mind, or from ur heart without worrying what the other person will think, cus at the end of the day you always got yourself
I can always talk better to people that don't seem to be paying attention to me.
Me too. And eye contact during a conversation makes me anxious/forget what I’m saying
BUT EYE CONTACT IS SUPPOSED TO BE NORMAL 🤦♀️
Tbf it can be scary like im doing some volunteerin using a new tool in park and ppl start looking at me i get agitated n feel like im doing it wrong asf lmao hate being neagtively judged but am changing ittt. + when i say something unsure i say it quietly so they can't hear it UH MY CONFIDENCE
This is why I can't walk properly when someone's watching me!!!
XD hAHAA, relatable :D
I thought i was the only one with that problem 😂
critically underrated comment
I think it's coping mechanism or something, but I purposely walk funny when someone is staring at me..
thats me exactly... sometimes I took off my glasses when i run so i won't know if people is watching me
my palms are getting sweaty,knees weak arms are heavy watching this
call me zagh

Maybe you need to watch the video and few more times. It's possible you did not understand some of the technical language.

I usually place my hand close to my heart then say
“Calm down bruh” in my head

At least, that's how I want it to work.
You can test yourself against the clock if preparing for an exam, solve mock papers with a set timer, over time it becomes normal.
you do timed mock exams at the same time of day as the real exam.You play matches in practice or friendlies with other teams.
Try to imagine being in that specific situation and a lot people simultaneously looking at you that will increase the pressure for sure

That’s why I make myself believe that tests are merely homework exercises and take them with a casual mindset.
I am preaparing for my third motorcycle driving exam. I am a good motorclycle driver, but I missed two exams. I will watch it again near the test, I think is very helpful.
Hi
I am glad TH-cam recommended this video as I was passing through the same stresses while performing simple tasks!
It is interesting to see how more "Neurotypical" people interact with their environment, tasks and information. As someone who is learning disabled I need to have other organizational supports to be successful. This takes the pressure off processing the gaps in my memory and access. Great info!
I always feel a need to note down the things in such videos, but sometimes I get lazy or maybe due to something I'm unable to write down the things, but some people drop the summary of the whole video that is really sweet of them, so thank you to u guys!!
Practice, under pressure, with focus,
and with that glorious end goal in sight,
makes perfect.
2:36 this video is amazing, I now know what has been ruining my javelin throwing. I’m thinking to much on the mechanics and I just need to consider that I’ll throw it far, thank you ted ed!
I quit performing dance recitals, due to severe anxiety. Recently I've been at a cross roads on whether to keep training or quit altogether. This video explains a lot. Thank you.
Jen O'Hogan a random Internet stranger hopes you figure things out. Best of luck
Self Love is also necessary to believe in one's ability and reproduce it without thinking.
I still remember how I got thrown into an extemporaneous speech contest back in 9th grade (actually it was just last last year lol). The teacher in charge gave a speech, advices and all. 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.
Thank you for explaining some of the reasons why we choke, and ways we can prevent this. Practice under pressure with focus can prepare us for important events that will tie into our living full out.
thank you so much for the advice kageyama... now i can set without worrying about the opponents' blocks
Lol, finally someone with haikyu reference
Someone said it finally lol
the seconds explanation makes a lot of sense, I've always been naturally really good with sports once I do the fundamentals a few times. Since my body's used to being in auto-pilot when I play I choke when I start to think about how I'm going to execute a move, thanks Ted-Ed
Kageyama and Pen Pen, how wholesome.
😔✊
Stay positive and optimistic dear learners. The world needs heroes like you. The world needs your efforts.
This is so true, I remember practicing day and night for months to prepare for a badminton competition, only for me to fail because I was too focused on tactics and stuff like where to place my feet
Hi
Practice, under pressure, with that glorious end goal in sight, makes perfect!
Kageyama does very well under stress, he got that from the volleyball matches and dealing with Hinata
i was looking for a comment mentioning kageyama
YT should have given this to me before my Pageant yesterday.
the authors of this have excellent names
TED-Ed, every single one of your videos never fail to amaze me. I love your channel (even though I just discovered it), and have watched your videos. They are all very useful and I'm glad I found your educational channel. Thanks to your videos, they have helped me a lot in my daily problems. Keep up the good work and I hope to see more quality content coming our way!!!
Love from Singapore
going to use this to avoid getting choked by my thesis pressure -_-
Omg same. That's why I'm here
omg! same, for me, today is the D-2 before the thesis examination
we could see everything in different perspective
Harus bisa manage mood kita spaya bisa focus, calm n confident. Buat haters n hate comments diabaikan saja jangan sampai merusak mood n focus kita, krn memang itu tujuan mereka. Keep fighting!
This video gives a precious knowledge on performing good under pressure it'll help a lot of people.
Why is no one talking about the dudes name is called Kageyama in the title
thank you!! I was looking for this comment 😭 haikyuu?
@@nc7375 same
Was looking for this comment
ligit one of the reasons I tapped this vid
lol , i didn't even notice xD
"Pressure is a privilege." ...why this sounds like a revolution to me?
This would help me a lot, most of the time I put myself under pressure even if I don't need to. I can't express myself properly if I focus on what I am about to say, I forget the choreography because I'm thinking about the next stepping, and I mess up when I think about how the other people look at me.
At least I know what to do now. Thanks! ❤ I hope I don't scare myself again.
Hi
Hello
I could listen to her for years
That internal vs external focus is gonna be huge. Thank you
Watching this and thinking back to all those many times I (might've) messed up in front of a large crowd gave me a panic attack (~'-')~
Got my GCSE English Lang speech on Wednesday and I’m sooo nervous....
Update - it went ok, but I was shaking like mad!
Good luck!
TED-Ed thank you!!!!
John Adams doesn’t have a real job anyway 1) GOOD LUCK my sister is doing hers too 2) Hamilton is amazing 👏
Red Rose haha thanks 😂, aww good luck to her 💕
Happy Bear well I’m trying to focus on school right now 😂
The best way to be calm under pressure is to believe everything will be fine at the end...
tell that to me when I’m under the heat of the moment and I will not understand you. 🤷🏻♂️🤣
Perfect practice makes perfect
Not training under pressure, makes you fail under pressure
Practice, under pressure, with focus not on the ball, and with that glorious end goal in sight, makes perfect
Hopefully South African cricket team is watching this.
That is not a case of choking. They were always unlucky.
@@mikeroot5108 yep buddy
Hey, Ted Ed nice video as always. Can you make a video about how to remain calm during exams? Have a difficult 3hour exam next week.
I remember my notification said "avoid choking under pressure". 3 hours later it changed to "stay calm"
Hahaha! I guess I should thank my friends who made me practice playing the piano under pressure before performing in a small concert. At the time I thought it was so weird that I kept asking them to stop doing it because they were literally staring intensely at me right in front of the piano as I was playing.
"Practice, under pressure, with focus and With that glorious end goal in sight makes perfect" That's all I wanna know, thank you
This showed up on my feed 3 hours before a college interview. Timing couldn’t be more perfect
This ones good! I usually cripple under pressure and can't move and becomes more unfocused, I hope more people are helped by this
Watching this after choking during my presentation
This would happen to me all the time when I was playing volleyball. I was quite a good player but everytime I went to a match I would constantly think "what if i do terribly?" and of course I would end up choking. I mean it didn't help that my own team always hated me. I just couldn't take the pressure anymore and had to quit :(
I love that you guys added a fractal shape to the pressure idea
Didn't know I clicked so fast when I saw the word KAGEYAMA in the title...
But this really helps! Thank you!
HQ!!
Don't eat any artichokes up to 7 days before the event
why
Slendermanfreak so you dont artiCHOKE
hahaha lol 😂 😂 😂
@phantazein. A vegetable
you can't eat artichokes
Pressure pushing down on me
Pressing down on you, no man ask for
Under pressure that burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets
Um ba ba be
De day da
Ee day da, that's okay
It's the terror of knowing what the world is about
Watching some good friends screaming
"Let me out!"
Pray tomorrow gets me higher
Pressure on people, people on streets
Day day de mm hm
Da da da ba ba
Okay
Chipping around, kick my brains around the floor
These are the days it never rains but it pours
Ee do ba be
Ee da ba ba ba
Um bo bo
Be lap
People on streets
Ee da de da de
People on streets
Ee da de da de da de da
It's the terror of knowing what the world is about
Watching some good friends screaming
'Let me out
Barz
My coach in high school used to say "perfect practice makes perfect."
but he said every 2.5 seconds so it was mostly just annoying
I have a crucial exam tomorrow and TH-cam recommended me this. AI works brilliantly sometimes.
Thank you! This was needed.
Practice under pressure with focus with the glorious end goal in sight makes perfect
Totally off topic but when I saw "Kageyama" at the title, my inner Haikyuu fangirl accidentally came out...
lol sameee
"Pressure is a privilege."
I don't deserve this privilege,so take it!
This is what you should learn in school...
this makes sense. I always get nervous during math class and it makes everything harder but outside of class I can do it fine.
I have an exam in few days and this video is helpful.... Information like stop doubting yourself while performing is important to me😌.......
I tried to keep calm but he started his job right after reaching to the bed without making me anymore nervous!!
A girl waves at me.
Me: *sweats profusely
I needed this today.
Thank you!
