Under Pressure

When under pressure, people normally perform a lot worse than they would without pressure. There are some qualities that can make people perform well under pressure. Qualities such as having a strong will at what you are trying to achieve. By having a strong will, you want to achieve your goal no matter what. It is like you have to achieve it before you die, or else you'll be extremely regretful or something. This quality would make you achieve a much better performance while under pressure. If you are in a life and death situation, like the sniper in the story, The Sniper. The sniper was facing a near-to-death experience. Which made him perform better under the extreme pressure. Since he doesn't now want to die, so he focused on trying to achieve what he wanted, other than being pressurized which will affect on you performance. In the story, he also got shot in the arm, but he did not give up. This is another thing that will happen to a person with a strong will, which is to not give up. These qualities can make a person perform better under pressure, since it is the only thing they want to achieve during that time period, therefore putting all your focus on achieving the goal.
