Suppose you are apart of a team that is about to enter the final, decision-wining game of the season. The sudden buzzing of the clocks announces the debut of a fight to victory. Grinding up every ounce of fury, you step onto that field trickled by the rewarding thoughts of success. While attempting to keep composure, the aroma of that cold sizzling beer allied to the imaginary cheers of a dressed-toa-minimum flock of girls seize your every move. Panic. What if we lose?

Much the same way, non-athletic students are often subject to equal exposure to pressure over success. Though standing outside the boundaries of a field, students dedication to meet deadlines, for example, can amount to equal levels of stress. As we all may have experienced once before, cramming the night before to complete a paper most often amounts to an unsatisfactory outcome.

According to award wining sports columnist Sally Jenkins, the brain robs ones muscles of the energy to function, whether you are fighting to win that game or sitting at your desk typing that paper. The fact of the matter is how successful you are at turning pressure into a positive outcome.
