Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Performing Under Pressure
Josephine Perry · 2020
78/100
👍 Worth It
Sixty-four discrete, evidence-based strategies is an unusually generous payload for a sport-psychology book, and Josephine Perry's Routledge credentials mean the research backing is real rather than anecdotal. Coaches working with amateur and elite athletes alike will find something directly applicable here, though artists and performers outside sport will feel the book wasn't written with them in mind. A reliable professional reference that earns its place on a coach's shelf.
