When Your Athlete Spirals Mid Game: How to Help Her Rewire Her Brain for Confidence

The Moment Every Sports Mom Recognizes 💔

How to Help Your Athlete Thrive Under Pressure (Not Crumble!)

Pressure. Every athlete feels it—the butterflies before the big game, the sweaty palms before the free throw, that moment when everything’s on the line.

What do you do when your coach says you look scared on the court?

How do you handle a teammate who constantly brings negative energy?

Or when you come back from an injury and feel like everyone has left you behind?

These aren’t just your problems. They’re the exact, real-life questions girl athletes are asking behind closed doors. And today, I’m swinging those doors wide open.

I’m giving you a secret peek inside one of our private group coaching calls, where athletes get real, unfiltered advice on the stuff that actually keeps them up at night. No scripts, no fluff; just the raw conversations and actionable tips that help players navigate the toughest parts of their sport.

This is the stuff we usually only share with our inner circle. Keep reading to see how we handle it.

Tryouts can feel like a lot. Your heart’s racing, your palms are sweaty, and suddenly it feels like everything’s riding on this one moment. But here’s the truth: tryouts aren’t about becoming someone new. They’re your chance to show off the work you’ve already put in. That’s it. And that mindset shift? It changes everything.

Let’s talk about summer: not the relaxing-by-the-pool kind, but the kind where you’re showing up, putting in the work, and getting noticed.

Let’s be honest: sometimes the hardest part of youth sports isn’t the games, the practices, or even the tough losses. It’s the sideline drama.

As parents and coaches, we want our girl athletes to be strong, confident, and resilient, not just in their sport, but in life. And one of the most powerful ways to build that confidence? Teaching them how to fuel their bodies intentionally while developing essential life skills in the kitchen.
