She introduces three key systems: the Reset System, which focuses on breathing and posture; the Identity System, which emphasizes building identity based on standards rather than outcomes; and the Thought Rehearsal System, which involves visualizing potential setbacks and rehearsing responses. McCauley stresses that training these systems is essential for maintaining composure and performance under pressure. Takeaways: People default to what they are comfortable with under pressure. Mental systems are crucial for high-stakes performance. Training the nervous system is as important as physical training. The Reset System involves controlled breathing and posture.
