Perform Under Pressure, authored by Dr Ceri Evans, is a groundbreaking guide designed to help readers tackle some of life's most stressful and challenging moments. Through meticulously researched psychological techniques and an innovative red-blue mind model, Dr Evans provides practical strategies for gaining emotional control and achieving peak performance even when faced with immense pressure.

Targeting those crucial situations when you feel most stressed and uncomfortable, Perform Under Pressure empowers you to not only survive but thrive. Dr Evans, a renowned clinical psychiatrist and former professional rugby player, translates his clinical expertise and sports experience into easily digestible advice that anyone can apply to their personal and professional lives. By understanding and harnessing the dynamics of the mind under pressure, readers can unlock their true potential and overcome mental barriers that may have been holding them back.

If you aim to excel in your career, sports, or any field that demands high performance under pressure, this book is an indispensable resource. It provides readers with the tools to feel comfortable being uncomfortable, helping them navigate through stress and perform at their best.

Richie McCaw, former All Blacks captain, praises the book: "Whatever it is you want to improve in your own life, this book will help you do it."

Steve Hansen, All Blacks coach, adds: "We all feel pressure. Ceri just makes it easy to understand so you can deal with it."

Arsène Wenger, manager of Arsenal FC from 1996 to 2018, shares insights on how the book has influenced his approach: "Performing under pressure is the platform for a successful career. Ceri helped me clear my mind, focus on decisive matters, and strengthen my vision for the team."

Author and journalist Meg Mason provides a heartfelt testimonial: "A revelation – no book has done more for my professional life and personal wellbeing than Perform Under Pressure. It's so much more than self-help or sports psychology. No matter your field, it will change the way you think about what you do, why you do it, and how you practise, day to day. I've given it to every writer, artist, and creative I know. Everyone in the arts should read it."

Expertly crafted to transform the way you perceive and handle pressure, Perform Under Pressure is not just a book but a vital companion for anyone determined to achieve their goals and enhance their performance in the most critical moments.

About the Author

New Zealander Dr Ceri Evans graduated in medicine with distinction from the University of Otago. He gained first class honours in Experimental Psychology on a Rhodes Scholarship at the University of Oxford while playing professional football in the English Championship. Awarded the Gaskell Gold Medal by the Royal College of Psychiatrists, he then specialised in forensic psychiatry and completed a PhD in traumatic memory.  After returning home to Christchurch, he was Clinical Director of the Canterbury Forensic Psychiatric Service and served as an expert witness in major cases. In 2018 he was made a Fellow of the Royal College of Psychiatrists and awarded his football coaching A Licence.  Ceri's reputation generates diverse invitations from leading international organisations determined to help their people deliver in demanding situations.  His Red-Blue mind model is used by people serious about performing under pressure, from doctors to lawyers, executive teams to specialist teams, and from professionals to amateurs. He is perhaps best known for his work with the New Zealand All Blacks for whom he has provided specialist consultancy since 2010.  Now in private practice, you will otherwise find Ceri with his head in a book, exercising, or with Therese trying to find out what their three children are up to at university.
