Description

What if the secret to your daughter’s confidence isn’t more practice… but a mental game shift?

Two sports moms (one with a 9-year-old gymnast, another with a 12-year-old softball catcher) spill exactly how they transformed meltdowns into comebacks and rebuilt their own parenting playbooks along the way.

🔥 You’ll Learn:

  • The car ride trick that got a resistant 9-year-old to say “Yes!” to mental training.
  • One word that stops post-mistake spirals (even in front of judges or crowds).
  • How to “shut up” (their words!) and let your athlete lead, while still being their #1 supporter.
  • Snapback routines that work for gymnastics meets, softball games, and middle school drama.
  • “Control the controllables”, the mantra that saved both moms from sideline stress-eating.
  • Shocking parent confession: “I was part of the problem.” What they changed to rebuild trust.
  • Stealable scripts for talking to coaches, handling bad calls, and surviving “I want to quit” moments.
  • FREE tools: Competitor Style Quiz, bite-sized podcasts, and how to access live coach support.

🎧 Listen Now If…

  • Your athlete crumbles under pressure (but kills it in practice).
  • Post-game car rides feel like walking on eggshells.
  • You want to prep them for life, not just trophies.
  • You’ve ever thought, “Am I messing this up?”

👉 Tap “Play” to steal their playbook, no drills or pep talks required.

P.S. Spoiler: One mom’s daughter now uses her reset word… as a tattoo. 🔥
