How to Help Your Athlete When They're Struggling with Confidence (But They Don't Want Help) EP 296
29/07/2023 Duración: 17minAs parents, we all want the best for our young athletes, especially when they're going through tough times. But what should you do if your child resists the help and guidance we offer? In this episode, Coach Rebecca addresses this common concern and provides valuable insights for parents seeking ways to understand and support their athletes effectively. During their pre-teen and teenage years, it’s entirely normal for children to seek some distance from their parents. This developmental phase is marked by their quest for independence and the shaping of their identities. It's essential to recognize that their resistance might have a biological basis as their brains undergo significant changes during this period. In some cases, kids may not even realize they need help. We need to allow them space to recognize when they can improve and understand when to ask for help.

How To Stop Stressing Over Things You Can't Control EP 293
01/07/2023 Duración: 14minToday, Coach Rebecca is doing a great training to help you stop stressing over things you can’t control. This episode is great for parents and athletes. Things happen that we can’t control, but here’s a go-to strategy you can use anytime. Stress shows up when we spend energy trying to control things that we can’t control. You may fall into the “control freak” mode. Trying to force and manage things so everything is “perfect”. Another mode is the “worrier”, and sometimes we’re both! The bottom line for both of these is they’re created by fear.

Why Confidence Ladders Don't Work EP 289
03/06/2023 Duración: 18minToday Coach Rebecca explains why the confidence ladder approach doesn’t work and can even backfire. She’s breaking it down AND explaining what will work instead. Parents, there’s a better way to overcome mental blocks that works, will help your kid, and make things less stressful for both of you. If you aren’t sure what a confidence ladder is, Coach Rebecca breaks that down for you. It’s meant to create a confidence snowball and it sounds like it will work in theory, until it doesn’t. Here’s the misconception around using this tool; it focuses your motivation on a specific thing which sounds good, but for many kids it feels like a pass/fail situation. Awareness comes first, before confidence can show up.
