Win the mental game first…
Resilient
Building resiliency through adversity is one of the “seven wonders in youth sports.” You want your athlete to learn through their struggles to overcome them without impacting their confidence.
Don’t miss the opportunity for your athlete to grow mentally tough - we can help them achieve that growth.
Coaches love athletes who are coachable, and that translates to being a great teammate as well.
Being coachable into a new position, system, or attitude are attributes we can discuss.
Coachable
Injuries
At some point in their career, your athlete will sustain an injury and will need to confront the emotions of things such as: being on the sideline, letting their team down, losing their position or scholarship, and feeling they disappointed their coach or parents.
Let our coaches work with your athlete to grow during these times.
School-Life-Sports-Balance
Being a young athlete translates to a very busy schedule and heavy expectations. Learning to manage the responsibilities of time, preparation, performance, and communication are lifelong skills that take years to develop.
As a parent, you want your athlete to respond effectively when things get unbalanced, with growing maturity.
You want to instill the confidence in them to say: “I can do this, but I need help.”
Pressure
The U.S. Navy Seals preach that people do not rise to the challenge, they fall to their training.
High pressure moments can build or destroy confidence, determine championships, and impact scholarships.
Preparing for moments of success and failure will help your athlete manage through them in real time.
Leadership happens all over the field, classroom, and workplace.
Youth often confuse leadership with authority. Coaches often confuse the best players for team leaders. Leadership amongst peers comes from earned trust and influence. These soft skills can be frustrating for young athletes on the surface.
Coaching through these experiences will help your athlete be an effective leader, and influential follower.
