As a parents of youth athletes we know helping them reach
their potential involves a lot of time and attention.
It would be great if we only had to worry about the obvious
ways of support like driving them to and from games and
practice, outfitting them with uniforms and equipment and
paying pretty large sums of $$$ these days just for them to be
on a good team.
But kids in sports today are facing enormous pressure as the
level of performance and expectations to make a team get tougher
as well as their trying to balancing school and family life.
We also know that a lot of that pressure is self-imposed and
makes it worse!
So how can you help? How do you get inside your child's head,
give them perspective on their priorities, their thought processes,
and their values and beliefs in order to move them into effective
and positive adult decision-making?

Maybe you have you experienced a situation like this:
A dad brings his teen son to me for help with anxiety and
tentativeness playing his sport.
As I am working with his son, I can see the dad nodding his
head in agreement as I am teaching him the mental toughness
principles.
A few days after the session, the dad reports back that
his son's performance has improved dramatically and is playing
with amazing confidence.
He tells me he said to his son, "Craig didn't teach you much
that I haven't taught you... what made the difference?"
He laughs when he tells me his son's response back:
"Dad, it's the WAY he taught me"
As a parent myself I get it! They sometimes just don't listen
because the message is coming from you.
Sometimes, it's the right metaphor or story that breaks through
the wall that we all put up about new learning.
Sometimes, the student has to know that the methods have been
extremely successful with other students before him.
Sometimes, it just takes an outsider to do the teaching.
What I do differently than most coaches or psychologist with
great success is to use powerful tools to tap into the
subconscious mind where the beliefs are stored. This makes
major changes for life!
So how do you get this mental performance training for your
athlete? Tap here to get started right now having your athlete here
it all from someone else, another way.
