The Doing Hard Things Playbook
Most athletes don’t struggle because they lack talent or preparation. They struggle because pressure changes how the nervous system thinks, feels, and decides. When the moment matters, execution can tighten. Familiar skills feel less accessible. Small decisions carry heavier weight. This is not weakness —
it’s human biology doing its job. The Doing Hard Things Playbook offers a practical framework for training performance
under pressure.
Drawing on more than 15 years working in elite sport and high-performance environments, Dane Barclay outlines seven core principles that help athletes and high-performers stabilise attention, regulate under load, and act with clarity when the stakes are real.
Each section presents a common performance problem, a clear reframe, and a simple drill that can be applied immediately in training and competition. For readers who value substance over hype, this book offers a grounded path to more reliable execution when it matters most.
