Performing Under Pressure QUT workshop

QUT Sport and the School of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences are running a free Performance Under Pressure Workshop on Monday 6 July, and it's open to anyone who coaches or competes. That includes croquet.

Pressure training is about building the skills to perform when it counts: the hoop you have to run to win, the lawn where everyone is watching. Drawing on current research and their work in high performance sport, the presenters will share practical strategies and examples to help coaches design pressure-training activities.

Leading the session is Associate Professor Adam Gorman, a skill acquisition specialist at QUT and a former Senior Skill Acquisition Specialist at the Australian Institute of Sport. He has worked across a range of Olympic sports and supports sporting organisations from grassroots to elite level.

The organisers say the workshop suits coaches, physical education teachers, sport scientists, psychologists and athletes. It's interactive, and it's free.

When: Monday 6 July 2026, 5pm to 8pm (networking, refreshments and workshop)

Where: QUT, Kelvin Grove Campus, E Block, Level 5

Cost: Free

Register: Register via Humanitix before Monday 29 June
