About the Event

Have you ever wondered what can be done after hours of rehearsals, individual practice, and positive encouragement that yields only partial results? Csaba Jevtic-Somlai expounds on aspects of performance preparation and stress management that are easily available to all. This webinar’s content will be mostly based on Dr. Don Greene’s book: Performance Success – Performing Your Best Under Pressure and on personal experience.

You will learn about:

  • what stress is and what happens to our emotions, psychic, and body when we are under any level of stress.
  • the seven essential skills for optimal performance and how to take inventory of those skills. Taking inventory gives you a map of your skill levels at present and provides a starting point for starting the work.
  • centering – a technique that can be mastered in a few weeks and provides anchored focus during performance.
