THEY PLAY HOW WE FEEL

Athletes don’t just hear our words. They absorb our emotions, even if we say nothing.
Pressure transfers easily. Stress becomes their stress. Calm becomes their calm.

Create a clearer environment by regulating your own emotions first.

3 WAYS TO RESET YOUR EMOTIONS:

1. Pause and Reflect
Notice your tone and mood before interacting.

2. Speak Your Feelings Out Loud
Clearly state your feelings (“I’m frustrated so I’m taking a moment”). Show athletes how emotional regulation works in real time.

3. Celebrate Effort, Not Just Outcomes
Focus postgame conversations on resilience, learning, and effort, instead of the result alone.

Clear Environment → Clear Mind → Confident Athlete

Mental health and emotional health aren’t interchangeable. Knowing the difference helps you manage stress, burnout, mood swings, and pressure. Mental health is about your cognitive functions: focus, memory, and decision-making. Emotional health is about how you handle feelings: regulation, awareness, and expression.

At HeadCoach, we help athletes train emotional skills and habits to stay steady, responsive, and ready to perform at their best in sport and in life.

Mental health is just as important as physical strength.

Emotional Intelligence is your ability to:

understand your own emotions

manage stress effectively

connect meaningfully with others

Strong Emotional Intelligence is essential for mental well-being, resilience, and peak performance.

As Daniel Goleman said, "Emotional Intelligence accounts for 80% of success in life."

This month, we are sharing practical ways to help you train your mind the same way you train your body.

The Science of Emotions: Beyond Biology

Most of us were taught that emotions are hardwired and universal. But new research tells a different story.

Emotions aren’t fixed responses. They’re built by your brain in the moment, shaped by your experiences, your surroundings, and your culture.

Psychologist Lisa Feldman Barrett puts it:
“Your brain uses past experiences to create emotions on the fly.”

Take happiness, for example.
Do you smile wide, or is it more subtle? It depends on who you are, where you are, and what you’ve learned.

Understanding emotions helps us connect more deeply with others.
Reflect with us.

Do you ever feel like you don’t deserve your success—even when you’ve earned it?

That’s impostor syndrome, and it’s common, especially among high achievers.

When you’re constantly surrounded by talented people or set high expectations for yourself, it’s easy to doubt your abilities.

Impostor syndrome can make you:
• Question your worth unnecessarily
• Avoid taking risks
• Hold back from opportunities

Here’s the truth: growth often feels uncomfortable. But recognizing your achievements and shifting your mindset will help you push through it.

Start building unshakable self-belief with HeadCoach.

Let’s continue to champion equity, support well-being, and build a future where every athlete thrives.

Are you only confident when you’re perfect? That mindset is holding you back.

When confidence depends only on competence, you:
✔️ Avoid new challenges.
✔️ Fear failure like it’s the end of the world.
✔️ Limit your own growth.

This happens when your self-worth is tied to success. If you’re not perfect, you feel like you’re not enough.

The shift? Confidence isn’t just about skill—it’s about believing in your ability to learn, adapt, and grow.

Focus on progress, not perfection. Start celebrating small wins, and watch your confidence grow.
