single word requests - Noun for a person who thrives under pressure


I don't know of any nouns that describes a person who thrives under pressure. In basketball and sports in general, I know people who do well under pressure are called clutch. However, clutch would be an adjective. Are there any nouns that fit this description? If there are no nouns, what other adjectives have this meaning.
