Is Your Athlete Running on Empty? The Nutrition Red Flags Every Sports Mom Should Know

Your daughter’s pushing hard in her sport — early mornings, late practices, weekend tournaments. But lately, she’s been dragging. She’s moody, tired, maybe even nursing a few nagging injuries.

5 Signs Your Athlete Struggles with Perfectionism (And How You Can Support Her)

Does it feel like nothing your daughter does is ever good enough? She might win a game, achieve a personal best, or master a new skill, and still criticize herself 😔. Watching her struggle can be heartbreaking, especially when her self-worth seems tied to every mistake or outcome.

When Your Daughter Isn’t Getting Playing Time: How to Help Her Speak Up with Confidence

Let’s be real. Few things stir up emotions faster than playing time.

“Is mental training for my young athlete really worth it?”

Maybe your daughter’s been struggling with confidence, stress, or just not enjoying her sport like she used to. You’ve tried pep talks, advice, maybe even therapy but nothing seems to stick. Sometimes it even feels like it makes things worse. Sound familiar?

If you’re a parent of a middle school or high school athlete, you know that thinking about college can feel overwhelming. There’s the recruitment process, the applications, the scholarships, and the nagging question: how do we make this happen without drowning in debt?

Ever feel like the second you bring up mental training, your daughter shuts down? You start to say something and she already knows where you’re going, so she tunes out or rolls her eyes. You’re not trying to make her feel like something’s wrong, but you do want her to realize how much working on her mindset could help her game.

How do you know if your athlete is ready for mental training? And maybe even more important, when’s the best time to start?

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