Phil Shomo Coaching: Adversity to Advantage

05 - CALEB SHOMO / Beartooth: Performing well under pressure when thousands are watching

FOREVERLEARNING is one of my core values and one of the things I love pursuing is wisdom and insight from experts in a wide variety of industries and careers that can be translated into my work with athletes.

Consistent with that pursuit I’m doing some interviews around the topic of handling pressure I call THE VOICE OF THE PRESSURE PERFORMER.

Today we’ll dip into the world of music with my second guest for this new series, lead singer and creator of all of the Beartooth music and my youngest son, CALEB SHOMO.

Caleb began his music career by joining a small local band in Columbus, Ohio, at the age of 14 before being asked to become part of the biggest local band in central Ohio at the time, Attack Attack. While still 15, Caleb and Attack Attack were signed to a bigtime record label and began touring full-time. Caleb was literally on the road 45 out of his first 52 weeks after starting the full-time touring life. His run with Attack Attack lasted 5 years and included several successful albums and big performances all over the world.

In 2013, Caleb launched a new band named Beartooth, and since that time Beartooth has achieved amazing success with massive crowds and a deeply devoted fanbase. Caleb writes all the songs, sings all the vocals, and plays all the instruments on all the album recordings. During live performances, Caleb is Beartooth's frontman and lead vocalists while turning the instrumental performance parts over to a group of very talented musicians.

Beartooth has performed all over the world to sold-out venues including giant festival performances in front of crowds as large as 30,000-40,000 in both Europe and the United States. Caleb has learned a lot over the years about performing in pressure situations and navigating the challenges that come with the spotlight in front of giant crowds, and his insights can be valuable to athletes who are hungry to improve their own pressure performances as well.

It is a huge honor to have Caleb as my guest on this series called THE VOICE OF THE PRESSURE PERFORMER.
