Is clutch performance innate-or can it be learned?

Sooner or later everyone encounters a situation in

which the stakes are high and the outcome is crucial. And even top

performers can crumble when faced with such extreme pressure.

Consider the CEO who panics in a desperate attempt to shore up his

company's earnings, the veteran politician who grows overconfident

and loses to the upstart candidate, the quarterback who carries his

team to the Super Bowl but falls apart in the final quarter. All of

them choked. But then there are the performers who thrive under

such conditions: the ER doctor racing the clock to save someone's

life, the lieutenant who leads his platoon to victory after an

ambush, the young attorney who refuses to be intimidated in court

and wins the crucial case.

These people are clutch, and their ability to overcome extreme

pressure consistently and beat the toughest odds fascinates us. How

do they do it? According to Paul Sullivan, clutch performance does

not stem from an innate ability. It's a learned skill: the art of

operating in high-stress situations as if they were everyday

conditions. Even some of the most experienced and talented

performers lack this skill-but Sullivan shows that anyone can

develop it. Drawing on new research and interviews with stars

across a range of fields, Sullivan uncovers the shared traits that

define clutch performers and explains how anyone can apply their

strategies. He builds his case through many inspiring true stories,

including those of

* a skinny sergeant who saved his battalion in Iraq;

* a rookie baseball player who pitched his team into its first

World Series;

* an eccentric psychiatrist who trained a group of financial

traders to become the best in the world;

* a lawyer who struggled in school but became one of the top

litigators in America.

Full of powerful advice and real-world examples, Clutch will

show you how to overcome extreme pressure to achieve greatness.

"Clutch, by New York Times columnist Paul

Sullivan, is a well- written examination of what makes a person

perform despite stress. It's not luck, he emphasizes; it's "the

ability to do what you can do normally under immense pressure." He

points to five key traits of clutch performers: focus, discipline,

adaptability, being truly present and having the fear and desire to

win. Sullivan illustrates these talents by way of portraits of

accomplished, self-assured performers such as trial lawyer David

Boies, JPMorgan Chase's Jamie Dimon and Sergeant Willie Copeland, a

hero in Iraq."

-TIME Magazine

"Mr. Sullivan has sallied forth with notepad and pen in hand to

tell individual stories... [He] takes his examples from sports,

business, the military and the stage. He explains right away that

there are five traits that help people pull off a clutch

performance: focus; discipline, adaptability, presence (i.e.,

actual involvement in the task at hand), and fear and desire.

"

-Wall Street Journal

"In ...Clutch, Paul Sullivan, a columnist for The New

York Times, examines strategies essential for remaining

composed when the pressure's on.... Anyone who feels that they tend

to lose their confidence when the stakes are high can glean

something from this analysis."

-Associated Press

"If you can't perform well under pressure, then you can't really

perform well. Paul Sullivan explains very readably how great

performers meet the challenge. Chokers everywhere-which means all

of us, in some part of our lives-owe him thanks."

-Geoff Colvin, author of Talent Is Overrated

"In Clutch Paul Sullivan has captured the essence of what

makes stars superstars. Concise, engaging, and invaluable. A

brilliant book with lessons on how to excel in whatever you do both

professionally and personally."

-Scott R. Singer, author of How to Hit a Curveball: Confront and

Overcome the Unexpected in Business

"In Clutch, Paul Sullivan-one of the best young journalists

at work in this country-shows us what really effective people do in

situations where they must perform well, even gracefully, under

pressure. His interviews with people in clutch situations are never

less than thoroughly entertaining. Sullivan has a keen eye for what

matters, and this wise book deserves a large audience."

-Jay Parini, author of The Last Station
