Quit Guessing What Version Of Your Athlete Will Show Up On Game Day

Let me set the scene for you: You are on the sidelines watching your athlete compete.


They make a mistake and you feel your chest tighten up, you hold your breath, your body becomes rigid. You watch your athlete's every move, wondering if this mistake will send them down the spiral or if they’ll be able to miraculously shake it off. You wait, anticipating the worst, and feeling helpless from the sidelines.


This is every parents worst nightmare. Seeing their kid struggle and feeling like they can’t do anything to help (or are not sure what to do to help).


That’s where I come in as a mental performance coach.


As a parent, you can’t be out there on the court with them. They have to be able to have the skills to regulate, reset, and refocus after a setback.


And I will be the first to tell you, the best athletes aren’t always the most physically skilled and talented. The best athletes are the ones who can bounce back the quickest.


This is why one of the first things I teach athletes is the reset routine.


It is a quick 3-step routine that they use after a mistake to get back to competing freely.


Reset Routine = Breath + Word + Motion


Each athlete’s routine is personalized to them and we build it out in one of our first mental training session together.


The reset routine really is like an athlete's superpower, and families I work with tell me this is their favorite and most effective tool from The Mental Toolbox.


“Mindset training has been a game-changer both on and off the field. In sports, it's helped me cultivate a resilient attitude, enabling me to bounce back from setbacks and stay focused under pressure.”

- Collegiate Lacrosse Athlete


“The most helpful for my athletes was the prepared responses to situations. This helped my athletes compete at their best when the pressure was on.”

- Middle School Basketball, Soccer, Track Dad


"The most effective part was when we were stressed, we were able to reset really quickly.”

- High School Cheer Coach


Stop guessing to see which athlete is going to show up at game time - the confident one or the one who is spiraling.


​Book a free connection call with me to learn about how your athlete can build their own reset routine and have the skills to bounce back consistently.


Remember, it’s not the mistake that matters but the response to the mistake.
