Totally, it’s fascinating! Players who perform under pressure often have a mix of confidence, focus, and resilience. These traits help them stay calm and make smart decisions when it counts. The good news is, many of these traits can be developed with practice and the right mindset!

That's a fascinating question! I've often wondered about that myself. I think key psychological traits for performing under pressure include mental toughness, focus, and confidence. Visualization and staying calm are also crucial.
