Overlearning has been suggested as an effective method of enhancing performance under pressure. (LeBlanc 2009) Overlearning involves continuing to deliberately practice a skill after achieving proficiency, and could be achieved through mental practice. Under pressure, complex thought is most impaired. Overlearning can help simplify our approach. Overlearning skills can make them automatic, freeing up working memory. Furthermore, mastering skills can increase our sense of control in pressure situations. (LeBlanc 2009)
