Hi, I’m Brian Hite

Brian Hite, is a modern-day Renaissance man, blending high-octane stunt work with sport/performance psychology and education. With over 100 film and TV credits, including a Screen Actors Guild award for “24,” and more than a decade training U.S. Army soldiers, Brian brings a wealth of experience to his work.

Holding a Master’s in Sport Psychology, a Ph.D. in Organizational Psychology, and several coaching certifications, he is an expert in human performance. Brian’s engaging keynotes challenge conventional thinking and inspire bold, innovative solutions.

As founder of Brian Hite Global and co-host of the podcast Poking Holes in Blinders, Brian combines storytelling with actionable insights. He is the author of Begin Again and the forthcoming A Stuntman’s Guide to Motivation, blending wisdom with practical advice. A lifelong learner, Brian’s passion for embracing the unknown motivates others to push their boundaries and strive for greatness.

High-stakes environments demand the ability to stay focused, maintain composure, and deliver at our best when it matters most. Whether you’re leading a team, protecting lives, inspiring a classroom, coaching athletes, or performing on stage, it’s easy to believe pressure, stress, and burnout are unavoidable. They aren’t.

I’m Brian Hite, the High-Stakes Performance Whisperer. With over 30 years as a Hollywood stuntman, 11 years coaching elite military personnel, and advanced degrees in Sport & Organizational Psychology, I help leaders, performers, and professionals thrive in the moments that matter most.

Through keynotes, workshops, and coaching, I teach practical strategies designed to help you break free from stress, eliminate pressure, and unlock sustainable high performance.

You don’t have to “handle” pressure — you can eliminate it.

I’ve been in film and TV stunts for 40 years and run Stunt Performers Academy. For the last year and a half, Brian Hite has given a 2-hour keynote to every student group. His skill in teaching essential techniques to aspiring stunt professionals is unmatched. Stunts involve challenges like fear and anxiety, and Brian provides crucial tools to manage these effectively. His keynotes, delivered from a stunt performer’s perspective, are well-crafted and impactful. I highly recommend his engaging and informative sessions and look forward to his continued involvement.

Brian’s approach to fear and performance anxiety is both unique and effective. His real-life personal stories, grounded in both stunts and psychology, provided us with practical ways to not hide from or get rid of our fears, but to actually harness and use our fears during challenging moments. Brian’s emphasis on our ability to always Begin Again was a powerful reminder to stay present and focus on what we can control, and his holistic approach to well-being was truly inspiring.
