Managing Spectator Pressure: Mental Strength Training for Athletes
Whether it’s a packed stadium, a sideline of shouting parents, or just a few people watching from the stands, the presence of spectators can change the game—literally and mentally. For some athletes, the crowd is fuel. For others, it’s a source of pressure that derails focus and performance. But managing that pressure is a trainable skill. With the right strategies, athletes can stay composed, confident, and even thrive under the spotlight. Here’s how mental strength training can help you perform at your best, no matter who’s watching.
