Welcome back to the Raising Elite Competitors podcast! Whether you’re just getting into sports or you have a lot of seasons under your belt, you can raise a confident, mentally strong girl athlete. This is exactly what Malinda discovered inside our signature mentor training program.

Let’s be honest, those teenage years can be a whirlwind, especially for our girl athletes. Suddenly, they’re dealing with changing bodies, unpredictable moods, and maybe even their first period – all while trying to perform their best in their sport. It’s enough to make any parent feel a little lost about how to support them.

Injuries are just the worst, aren’t they? As a parent or coach, it breaks your heart to see your athlete hurting – both physically and emotionally. You want to fix it, to make it all better, but sometimes it feels like there’s nothing you can do. Trust me, I understand. Injuries are an unfortunate reality […]

You know the feeling – the crowd buzzing, the adrenaline pumping, that intense pressure to win. It’s tough out there for young athletes, but what about the battles going on inside their heads? The struggle against those negative voices?

You know those days when you just don’t want to go to practice? I get it, everyone feels that way sometimes. But the best athletes don’t let a lack of motivation stop them.

Is your young athlete constantly tired during practice or games? Do they struggle to focus or seem sluggish throughout the day? Confused about what to feed your growing athlete to optimize their performance?

Watching your daughter compete in sports is an exciting and rewarding experience, right? As a parent, you want her to strive for greatness, be determined, and play with unwavering confidence. However, some young athletes may struggle with finding the fire within them to compete fiercely. They might hold back, play it safe, or lack the drive needed to push themselves further.

Let’s face it, sports moms, we all wear a lot of hats – we’re cheerleaders, chauffeurs, nutritionists, and sometimes therapists too! Our daughters are constantly juggling practices, games, and everything in between. So, how do we squeeze in one more thing – mental training?
