Article overview
This critical review examines how pressure affects attention during skilled performance. It distinguishes distraction by threat from excessive conscious control of well-practised movements, and considers preparation routines, gaze training and practice under pressure. The article emphasises differences between planning an action, preparing for it, executing it and reviewing the result. Its discussion evaluates study limitations and transfer to real competition, rather than assuming that any single instruction about concentration will benefit every athlete.
