Performing under pressure is a paramount mental skill for basketball. One must perform gracefully under pressure in front of thousands of fans on a game-to-game basis. I ask myself if there is anyway to prepare for these type of situations. I plan to recreate pressure situations in practice. I have been simulating game pressure situations during my practice of free-throws by adding consequences if I fail to complete a certain percentage.In addition, I have created a focused repeatable routine for game day. With a consistent routine, there is less susceptibility to succumb to pressurized situations. The goal is to become accustomed to a routine, thereby leaving no time to worry nor pay attention to external influences. I am ready to apply these skills in the upcoming season.
