 
Stage Fright & Overcome Stage Fright
Overcome stage fright. Have overwhelming success
Stagefright within performance psychology creeps up on all us, often at the most inopportune
moments. When you’re about to give a presentation to a room full of stockholders. When you’re staring at a free
kick barreling towards you and the net. You feel yourself freeze up. Your throat tightens. Your hands sweat.
You lose the ability to focus on the task at hand. Unfortunately, when stagefright takes control over your
body, opportunity slips away, but you can rewrite that story by training your mind to subdue this nemesis and
snatch command of your success.
Stage fright is no match for the mentally strong.
Whether you’re a professional athlete or VP of Operations, top performance psychology consultants can help you
successfully overcome stage fright and exceed even your own expectations. The sports and
business arenas are not very different: both require high levels of achievement under intense pressure—pressure
that can lead to debilitating fear. The goal is to conquer that fear and reach your peak performance at the
right time to hit that homerun or close that multi-million dollar deal. It’s a question of being ever ready,
and through scientifically proven, mental training techniques, you can learn to consistently perform at peak
levels effortlessly—and leave stage fright in the dust.
Say goodbye to stagefright. Hello to: “In the zone.”
Athletes and business people who accomplish an amazing feat often describe having felt a sense of complete
effortlessness while mastering the task. Referred to as being “in the zone”, this state of ultimate relaxation
and hyper mental focus is what enables you to overcome stagefright and perform at your peak level.
Although getting into the zone at the right time may seem like an act of serendipity, you can train yourself
through visualization techniques, positive thought control, psychological toughness and other mental exercises
to enter this state at the right place and at the right time.
Stage fright is irrational. So be rational about it.
Overcoming stage fright by using performance psychology is an achievable process once viewed through a
cognitive behavioural approach. We identify some of the thoughts and emotions that are holding back your
performance and enjoyment and implement strategies that change these thoughts to produce more helpful
emotions that manifest themselves into more productive actions and ultimately behaviour. Stagefright will quite
quickly become a thing of the past including the debilitating physiological symptoms that are times quite
frightening.
