My secret to staying focused under pressure | Russell Wilson

Visit TED.com to get our entire library of TED Talks, transcripts, translations, personalized talk recommendations and more.
Athletes train their bodies to run faster, jump higher, throw farther -- so why don't they train their minds, too? Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson talks about the power of "neutral thinking," which helps him thrive under pressure (both on the field and off) -- and shows how you can use this mindset to make the right moves in your own life.
The TED Talks channel features the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less). Look for talks on Technology, Entertainment and Design -- plus science, business, global issues, the arts and more. You're welcome to link to or embed these videos, forward them to others and share these ideas with people you know.

If the whole world class athlete thing doesn’t work out, he should be a motivational speaker

[@ericchapdelaine886]

Agreed @hmb

[@DeCurtaRican]

He’s already in demand for motivational speaking anyways. Literally hundreds of companies all over the world have asked him to speak. His energy is one of the reasons he has partnerships with companies like Mercedes Benz and Amazon.

[@omachinancy]

Russell Wilson is a special person who inspired many. Good talk.

[@funkXCIV]

He's a stoic man, applying stoic philosophy without talking about it, like you're supposed to do.

[@randygilbertson1318]

The people say its a sin to watch sports and play sports

[@kinsmed]

I'm not a sport guy. But I'm less than an hour from Seattle. Nice to see a prominent figure inspiring people. Pleased to meet you, Mr. Wilson.

[@GOD999MODE]

The real answer for most things in life is practice (preparation). You do something long enough and it eventually becomes second nature.

[@Jemjourney]

❣️love this transparency. Thanks for posting

[@thefuture1655]

[@Tim-K.]

I love sports, but I’ve never heard of him, seen him nor read about him😂. But I’m European and don’t like the copied (from the original football), but slightly altered American football.

Thank you so much for sharing your secret to staying focused under pressure. I think athletes have a strong will, strong body, strong concentration and mind. Lovely watching and listening to you here on the top of the mountain of Italy.

[@mariainesgarcia2767]

[@DeCurtaRican]

Even if Russ wasn’t a pro football player he would be a very rich, successful man, because he makes success a habit!

[@richmohrandus506]

Wow

[@rye2n]

0:09 Oh... So the applause of the introduction of all Ted talks is just an audio effect? It's quite disappointing...

[@Tim-K.]

😂How else could the applause always be equivalent to each other? But it would indeed be better if it were real, however it’s just a small detail...

[@Gamer-uk3pd]

Came here to see about this voice switch. Wow. Just wow

Bro you got young dizz as your pp and you’re in a yt comment section speaking on a man who’s done more in his life than you’ll probably hope to in 2 lifetimes. Rearrange your priorities man, stop wasting your time and go chase the bag

Look for the second pair of eyes.
