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?”

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!
