In a "panic" stop don't worry about downshifting - just concentrate on braking. And don't refer to it as a "panic" stop - an "emergency" stop is better.
If you "panic" you lose hope of having a good outcome, and picture a bad one. That heads you down the path of either "freezing" or target-fixating.
Always give yourself instructions in terms of a positive (
"avoid the pothole") and never in terms of a negative (
"don't hit the pothole").
