This pressure is the result of the two most powerful emotions we have as humans, fear and love. as opposites they tend to cancel each other out and produce higher levels of achievement. We must embrace both of them to achieve the highest levels of performance.
This is great advice indeed - but the concept should be attributed to Billy Jean King and her book Pressure is a Privilege: Lessons I've Learned from Life and the Battle of the Sexes. And probably others before her. I was surprised to see no attributions in the article.
It is acceptable to point out the TRUTHS of others providing similar information but not to imply that they took the information directly from the cited source without attribution, in this context. People may have similar creative thoughts and ideas and find that they were also held by others, even well-known people in their books or articles. I have found Admired Leadership to be credible and informative, in their own right.
Thank you for your perspective. I absolutely agree that multiple people can arrive at similar ideas independently, and I respect Admired Leadership’s work and credibility. My comment wasn’t intended to imply direct borrowing but rather to highlight the importance of acknowledging widely recognized sources, especially when a concept like “Pressure is a Privilege” has such a clear origin with Billie Jean King. Attribution not only adds context but also strengthens credibility, which I think we can both agree is important.
"Pressure is a privilege"—what a powerful way to reframe something we often try to avoid. The reminder that pressure exists because we’ve worked hard to get to this moment is a game-changer. It shifts the narrative from “What if I mess up?” to “Look how far I’ve come.”
