Let me preface this anecdote with the fact that I love working under pressure. The adrenaline helps me concentrate and perform.
[+] Making quick decisions that could determine the outcome of a game
[+] Less than half a second to determine a call, no takebacks
[+] Confidence in myself and my crew
[+] Present yourself professionally to project confidence and make a good first impression
[+] Avoid confrontation when people inevitably don’t agree with you, or you make the wrong decision
[+] De-escalate situations & read rising emotions
[+] Engage with adults 3 times my age, starting when I was 14
[+] Engage with people you just met in a professional and calm manner even when emotions are through the roof
