Mental health isn’t something our athletes “get over”—it’s something they learn to work with, every single day. 💬

As parents and coaches, the most powerful thing we can do is remind them:
✔️ Struggling doesn’t mean they’re weak.
✔️ Progress isn’t always linear.
✔️ Showing up when it’s hard is a win.

Practice mindful support today:
🌱 Listen more than you speak
🌱 Celebrate effort, not just outcome
🌱 Offer space for rest—not just push

Remind your athlete: mistakes are part of the process.

Your voice has power. Use it to reinforce the mindset that will carry them through tough games, setbacks, and self-doubt.

👉 Say things like:
💬 “One mistake doesn’t define you.”
💬 “Every rep—good or bad—is helping you grow.”
💬 “It’s not about being perfect, it’s about getting better.”

Athletes need to hear that failure is not the opposite of success—it’s part of the path to it.
When you remind them of that, they learn to play with confidence, bounce back quicker, and stay in it for the long run.

Keep planting the seed: growth over perfection. Always.

Your athlete might not always say it out loud—but moments of disappointment hit hard. Whether it’s a tough tryout, less playing time, or unmet expectations, they feel it.

And in those moments, what they need most isn’t advice or solutions—it’s support.

💬 Remind them:
“This one moment does not define you. You are resilient. You will rise again.”

Your words have power.
Your belief in them builds trust.
Your support helps shape their mindset—for sports and life.

We’re here to help you support the whole athlete.

📣 Coaches & Parents — here’s how you can help athletes manage the mental side of tryouts.

Tryouts can trigger a wave of anxiety, self-doubt, and pressure — especially in athletes who tie their identity to their performance.

🧠 Ways You Can Support Their Mental Game:
1. Normalize nerves
2. Reframe the outcome
3. Encourage routines
4. Be mindful of your language

🙌 Tryouts are about more than rosters. They’re about resilience, mindset, and building confidence — no matter the outcome.

✨ Want to help your athlete build mental strength, not just physical skill? Connect with us at www.performancepsychologyllc.com to learn how mental performance coaching can support your athlete — on and off the court.

As club volleyball season wraps up, it’s not just the athletes who need rest—parents and coaches do too.

The hustle of practices, tournaments, travel, and emotional investment takes a toll on everyone.

💬 Here’s your reminder:
👉 Rest isn’t quitting. It’s recovering.
👉 Stillness doesn’t mean stagnation. It means sustainability.

Whether you’re on the court, behind the bench, or in the stands—take time to recharge. Mental health and well-being are foundational to long-term success, both in sports and in life.

🛑 Slow down.
💆‍♂️ Breathe.
❤️ Come back stronger.

How are you prioritizing recovery this week?👇

This is the season where every game feels like an audition.

As athletes head into Nationals and navigate college recruiting, your support plays a key role in how they show up — and how they see themselves.

Remind them:
“Play present, not pressured.”
Because the best performances come from freedom, not fear.

✅ The right program is looking for the real version of your athlete — not just their stat line.
✅ Coaches don’t just recruit talent — they recruit consistency, coachability, and character.
✅ What separates them isn’t just what they do, but how they carry themselves.

Your calm presence helps regulate theirs. Your words shape their mindset.

Big tournaments aren’t just tough on athletes—coaches and parents carry the pressure too. Your presence, support, and energy matter more than you know. Encourage your athlete to say these affirmations when nerves start to kick in or doubt creeps up.

✨ Save this as a reminder that your mindset shapes theirs.

💌 Share this with your athlete(s) who could use a confidence boost or another parent or coach who needs to hear that their support goes beyond wins and losses.

🔹 Growth isn’t always visible on the scoreboard—keep showing up anyway.
🔹 Staying calm helps them stay confident.
🔹 Your belief in them is one of their strongest advantages.

The way young athletes talk to themselves matters — and so does the language they hear from us.

As parents and coaches, we set the tone for how athletes handle setbacks, pressure, and self-worth. Helping them reframe their words can support resilience and long-term mental wellness.

🧠 Instead of: “You made too many mistakes.”
💬 Try: “What did you learn from that moment?”

🧠 Instead of: “You have to win.”
💬 Try: “Let’s focus on growth, effort, and being proud of your progress.”

These shifts may seem small, but they build a mindset rooted in confidence, not fear.

💡 Share this post with your team as a powerful reminder: mindset is built word by word.

Greatness isn’t built in panic—it’s built in presence. And presence starts with your breath.

As nationals approach, stress can rise—not just for athletes, but for those guiding them too. Parents and coaches set the tone. Your calm becomes their calm.

🔁 Mindful Practice for You:
• Inhale 4 seconds
• Hold 4 seconds
• Exhale 4 seconds
• Hold 4 seconds
Repeat 4 times

Take a moment before games, car rides, or pep talks to ground yourself—so you can help athletes rise, not rush.

📌 Key Reminder:
• You don’t need to fix every feeling. Just help them breathe through it.
• Emotional regulation is contagious. Model calm.
• Performance isn’t just physical—it’s deeply mental.

As competition ramps up, it’s easy to focus on pushing harder — but what if the real edge lies in how well athletes recover?

👉 Elite performance isn’t just about effort. It’s also about intentional rest — physically and mentally.

Here are 4 simple ways you can support your athlete’s recovery this week:
✅ Set aside time for true rest
✅ Encourage time to unplug from screens and stress
✅ Create space for mental stillness and reflection
✅ Prioritize sleep — not just quantity, but quality

💡 Recovery builds focus, emotional balance, and game-day readiness. When we model and support healthy habits, we set athletes up for sustainable success — in sport and in life.

📣 This week, help your athlete (or team) share how they recover — post a photo or story and tag us!

💬 Let’s keep checking in:
🔹 How are they really doing?
🔹 What does rest look like in your household or program?
🔹 Remember: Rest isn’t laziness — it’s strategy.

As a parent or coach, you have a powerful role in shaping the mindset of the athletes you guide. It’s important to remind them that their value goes beyond the stats and the scoreboard.

✨ Save this as a reminder:
🔹 Your athletes are more than their minutes on the court.
🔹 They’re more than the numbers on their stat sheets.
🔹 They are athletes because of their effort, heart, and the unbreakable mindset they bring to the game.

💌 Share this with a fellow coach or parent who might need a reminder to focus on the whole athlete, not just the performance.
