Who is Brian Hite?
Brian Hite, Ph.D., is “The High-Stakes Performance Whisperer,” an expert in guiding individuals and teams to excel in high-stakes environments by eliminating the illusions of stress and pressure. As a professional stuntman with over 100 film and TV credits, Brian has lived and thrived in moments where clarity and focus are paramount. Yet, it was his fascination with the psychology behind these experiences that led him to pursue advanced degrees in sport and organizational psychology.
While earning his doctorate, Brian spent a decade working with U.S. Army soldiers, teaching them the mental tools to navigate some of the most challenging environments on the planet. His groundbreaking approach reveals that stress and pressure don’t come from the situations we face but from how we perceive and interpret them. By shifting these perceptions, Brian empowers others to dismantle mental barriers, gain clarity, and perform at their best when it matters most.
Today, Brian blends his experience as a stuntman, psychologist, and speaker to redefine what it means to thrive in high-stakes environments. Through programs like PressureX™, StressX™, and PhaseX™, he helps leaders, athletes, first responders, and professionals approach challenges with confidence, ensuring they achieve resilience, motivation, and peak performance.
Brian’s work isn’t about managing stress and pressure—it’s about eliminating them as obstacles. He shows clients how to redirect their focus, play to their strengths, and achieve extraordinary results in any situation. Whether on stage, in coaching sessions, or through his published works, Brian’s mission is clear: to help people master their mindset, thrive in high-stakes moments, and achieve lasting well-being.
