“I’m actually used to it” – Charley Hull opens up about her ‘weird’ relationship with pressure

Charley Hull has shared her thoughts on her unusual relationship with pressure. Hull recently joined the Icons by Motiversity, and when asked by host Tyler Waye, she shared how she tackles pressure in the game of golf.

Hull said that she had normalised it since competing as a junior, so she felt a bit lost when there was no pressure.

“I actually like the feeling of pressure. I do. I like it. I feel like—'cause I've lived with it since competing as a junior. So I'm actually used to it. When I don’t have pressure, I feel a bit lost. It's weird. Yeah, just like little things. That's why I run so much—'cause I think, right, I've got to be under pressure now to beat this time, or to do it when I don’t want to do it,” she said (11:14). “Like, the best days of my training are the ones when you wake up and you think, I don’t want to do this. Like this morning. But 3K into my run, I was like, I’m happy I did it now. I can run 100K, you know what I mean?... But then I have to be careful—'cause I’m playing a golf tournament this week. And it’s not just a golf tournament... It’s a major,” Charley Hull added.

Hull last played at the Amundi Evian Championship, where she withdrew.
