28: How To Overcome Stage Fright

Today I share a recent experience on a trip to Las Vegas where I helped coach a 7v7 touch football team. We traveled to Vegas to compete in the Pylon 7v7 Football National Tournament. The tournament was a tremendous learning experience, as our record showed 0 wins and 4 losses. Some of the things that held us back were:

  • Distractions
  • Low Commitment Level
  • Stage Fright

Try these 10 tips to reduce your stage fright:

  1. Shift the focus from yourself and your fear to your true purpose—contributing something of value to your team.
  2. Stop scaring yourself with thoughts about what might go wrong. Instead, focus your attention on thoughts and images that are calming and reassuring.
  3. Refuse to think thoughts that create self-doubt and low confidence.
  4. Practice ways to calm and relax your mind and body, such as deep breathing, relaxation exercises, yoga, and meditation.
  5. Exercise, eat well, and practice other healthful lifestyle habits. Try to limit caffeine and sugar as much as possible.
  6. Visualize your success: Always focus on your strength and ability to handle challenging situations.
  7. Study, watch film, practice intensely.
  8. Make connections with your teammates: Smile and greet people, thinking of them as friends rather than enemies.
  9. Listen to your coaches with assurance and confidence. Make eye contact and always be aware of your posture and body language.
  10. Give up trying to be perfect and know that it is OK to make mistakes.
