Sounds almost too good to be true, right? But it’s possible – and it’s not just about physical skills. The key to thriving under pressure lies in their mental game. And the best part?

I’ve used this approach with my volleyball team, and it’s helped us win three state championships in a row.
In this episode, Coach Bre is joined by Amanda Hazer, a former healthcare professional turned sports consultant, to explore the transition challenges athletes face when their sports journey ends.

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?

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!
