Estimated Reading Time: 4 Minutes A really common scenario I find myself in as a volleyball coach and Confidence Coach for female athletes is this: Parents reporting that they feel like their athlete daughter doesn’t believe in herself. “She’s so talented, but she doesn’t believe in her abilities!”“She doesn’t believe in herself when the competition […]
So pumped about my conversation with @itsmelissavogel on the Bomb Mom Podcast this week! We talked all about how to build elite athletes, specifically: ✅ The three things athletes need to be doing in order to reach confidence and peak performance (and how they can start them now!) ✅ What cuts confidence the most in female athletes […]
Estimated Reading Time: 3 Minutes Tryouts! Just the word can make an athlete’s heart start to race and their stomach to begin doing flips. Tryouts can be an incredibly nerve-racking time for a lot of athletes. They desire to play well, showcase what they’re capable of, and impress coaches. However this pressure can easily make […]
I had the pleasure of sitting down with Veronica at @empoweredandunapologetic last week to chat about Raising Self-Confident Daughters! This is what it’s all about, right?! All the sports, teams, practices, wins, losses, struggles, and victories our athlete daughters experience in their sport don’t just live and die on the field/court. We […]

EPISODE 113 | MAY 27 2022
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.
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, athlete. Let’s talk about something that’s probably been wrecking your game and you don’t even realize it. Ever played against a team or opponent you know you should crush… only to end up playing just as bad as they are? Your energy drops. Your focus fades. Suddenly, you’re making sloppy mistakes you’d never make […]

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!
Picture this: Your athlete walks into her next season unshaken by mistakes, laser-focused under pressure, and radiating confidence. No more spiraling after a bad play, no more crumbling under stress, no more repeating last season’s struggles. That transformation doesn’t happen by accident and it doesn’t happen during the season. It starts right now, in the offseason.
