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.
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.

We’ve all been there: watching our daughter walk off the field or court after a tough game.

Have you ever felt the pressure – whether from coaches, other parents, or even yourself – that your daughter has to pick one sport and stick with it? Maybe you’ve heard, “If she doesn’t specialize now, she’ll never get a scholarship,” or “She needs to focus on one position to make the travel team.” Sound familiar?
Hey athletes! Let’s talk about something we’ve all dealt with: that awful spiral of negative thoughts. You know the one. It starts with “What if I mess up?” and suddenly, your brain’s racing with worst-case scenarios. You’re stuck in your head, doubting yourself, and it feels impossible to shake it off. Sound familiar?
If you’re a sports mom and your daughter is suddenly freezing up during practice or competition – even though she’s done the skill a hundred times before – you’re not alone. It can be confusing and frustrating to watch. You may think, “She used to do this with no problem! Why won’t she just do it now?”
Have you ever felt like you’re all in when it comes to supporting your daughter’s sports journey, but your partner just doesn’t see the value in mental training? Maybe they don’t fully understand why it’s important for your daughter’s success, not just in her sport, but in life. If you’ve found yourself stuck in this situation, you’re not alone. In fact, you’re in the right place!
