Helping Kids Navigate the Pressure of Upcoming Competitions - Dr. Becky 25:33

il y a 12 hours25:33

25:33

This week on the PerformHappy Podcast, I’m talking to parents who are navigating one of the hardest parts of raising athletes: watching your kids struggle with disappointment, pressure, and even toxic coaching environments. As parents, our instinct is to protect our kids from heartbreak and setbacks. But what if the very challenges we want to shield them from are the ones that help them build resilience for life? Using clinical psychologist Dr. Becky Kennedy’s “bench” analogy, I share how letting kids sit with their disappointment — instead of rushing to fix it — prepares them for the bigger benches of adulthood, from heartbreak to career setbacks. I also dive into an important and difficult topic: what to do if your child’s coach crosses the line into emotional abuse. I share guidance on how to recognize red flags, when to approach a coach, and when to go directly to gym owners or SafeSport. Whether you’re supporting your child through a tough season, or wondering how to handle an unsafe coaching environment, this episode will give you tools to respond with calm, connection, and courage. In this episode, Coach Rebecca talks about: Dr. Becky Kennedy’s “bench” analogy for building resilience How disappointment today builds confidence for tomorrow Recognizing the signs of emotionally abusive coaching When to have a conversation, how to approach it, and when it’s time to leave “Your challenge as a parent is not to take your child’s resilience from them by trying to move them off the hard bench. Sit with them on that bench, let them have their feelings, and trust that they’re building the strength they’ll need for life.” – Coach Rebecca Learn exactly what to say and do to guide your athlete through a mental block with my new book "Parenting Through Mental Blocks" Order your copy today: https://a.co/d/g990Bur Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/complete_performance/ Join my FaceBook page: https://www.facebook.com/completeperformancecoaching/ Check out my website: https://completeperformancecoaching.com/ Write to me!

This week on the PerformHappy Podcast, I’m talking to athletes and parents who are in the thick of it — setback after setback, injury after injury, and feeling like the dream is slipping away. If that’s you, I want you to meet Arya and her mom, Sara. Arya spent years navigating injuries, mental blocks, and environments that didn’t bring out her best. She battled fear of re-injury, lost skills, and even walked into the gym in tears some days. Through it all, she held onto her dream of competing college gymnastics. In this episode, you’ll hear how Arya went from feeling stuck and unsupported to thriving in a new gym environment, regaining her skills, and finally achieving one of her biggest goals: competing at Eastern Nationals. Whether you’re an athlete facing challenges, a parent supporting one, or a coach looking to help your gymnasts overcome obstacles, you’ll walk away with powerful lessons about resilience, environment, and finding joy in the sport again. In this episode, Arya, Sara, and Coach Rebecca talk about: Why environment matters just as much as mental training for success The moment she knew it was time to change gyms (and how she found the courage to do it) Why focusing on small goals and loving the sport again made all the difference How she made it to Eastern Nationals — and why it was even more meaningful after years of setbacks “When I wasn’t happy, I wasn’t doing well. But once I started loving gymnastics again, everything got easier.” – Arya Page Learn exactly what to say and do to guide your athlete through a mental block with my new book "Parenting Through Mental Blocks" Order your copy today: https://a.co/d/g990Bur Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/complete_performance/ Join my FaceBook page: https://www.facebook.com/completeperformancecoaching/ Check out my website: https://completeperformancecoaching.com/ Write to me!

This week on the PerformHappy Podcast, I’m talking to athletes who are stuck. You know you’re capable of doing the skill—you’ve done it before—but for some reason, it’s just not happening right now . Maybe you’re dealing with the pressure of move-ups, recovering from a past fall, or your brain is simply hitting the brakes. You’re not alone, and there is a way through it that doesn’t involve just pushing harder or trying to force your way over the mental block. In fact, trying to "just do it" is usually the opposite of what works. In this episode, I’m sharing what actually helps: starting with ditching perfection, tuning into what your brain needs, and building momentum through small wins. Whether you're the athlete going through it, or a parent or coach supporting someone who is, you’ll walk away with clear, actionable tools to make progress—even when progress feels slow. In this episode, Coach Rebecca talks about: How to shift your focus from perfection to progress The power of treating each turn like an experiment What to do instead of comparing yourself to your best day Why communication with coaches and parents is important to getting unstuck One essential mindset shift for parents “When you stop judging every turn and start treating it like data, you actually build the confidence you’ve been chasing.” – Coach Rebecca Learn exactly what to say and do to guide your athlete through a mental block with my new book "Parenting Through Mental Blocks" Order your copy today: https://a.co/d/g990Bur Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/complete_performance/ Join my FaceBook page: https://www.facebook.com/completeperformancecoaching/ Check out my website: https://completeperformancecoaching.com/ Write to me!

This week on the PerformHappy Podcast, I’m sharing one of my favorite topics: the “camp magic” that gives athletes those powerful bursts of confidence, and what you can do when that confidence disappears back at the gym. Whether it’s a breakthrough skill at camp or a fearless moment at competition, those experiences can feel like superpowers. But why don’t they last? I’ll explain what’s actually going on in the brain when athletes are in fresh, positive environments, and how you can capture that feeling and bring it home. If your athlete has ever done something brave at camp or at a meet, only to freeze again in practice, this episode is for you. In this episode, Coach Rebecca talks about: What “camp superpowers” are, and why kids often break through blocks in new environments The science behind how your environment impacts confidence and fear What to do when confidence fades once your athlete is home How to identify your “camp alter ego” and show up as them every day “If you want consistent confidence, you have to figure out what sets you up for success, and then do more of that.” – Coach Rebecca Learn exactly what to say and do to guide your athlete through a mental block with my new book "Parenting Through Mental Blocks" Order your copy today: https://a.co/d/g990Bur Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/complete_performance/ Join my FaceBook page: https://www.facebook.com/completeperformancecoaching/ Check out my website: https://completeperformancecoaching.com/ Write to me!

This week on the PerformHappy Podcast, I’m sharing the simplest way to build confidence, even if you feel like you don’t have a single extra minute. So many athletes and sport parents tell me the same thing: “I want to feel more confident, but I’m just too busy to add one more thing to my day.” Trust me, I get it. Between school, sports, work, and everything else, life is full. But what if I told you that just 10 minutes a day could actually rewire your brain for more confidence, happiness, and success? In this episode, I’m walking you through the exact mental routine I use every single day. It’s fast, backed by research, and it works, even for the busiest athletes and parents. Whether you're an athlete trying to rebuild trust in yourself after a setback, or a parent looking to support your child’s mental game without overwhelming them, this episode is for you. In this episode, Coach Rebecca talks about: Three brain-based strategies that take just a few minutes a day How small daily shifts in mindset lead to big confidence wins What the research says about gratitude, mindfulness, and affirmations “Confidence isn’t something you’re born with, it’s like a muscle. You’ve got to do your daily reps.” – Coach Rebecca Learn exactly what to say and do to guide your athlete through a mental block with my new book "Parenting Through Mental Blocks" Order your copy today: https://a.co/d/g990Bur Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/complete_performance/ Join my FaceBook page: https://www.facebook.com/completeperformancecoaching/ Check out my website: https://completeperformancecoaching.com/ Write to me!

How to Talk to Your Athlete About Their Sport Without Adding Pressure or Stress 15:01

This week on the PerformHappy Podcast, I’m talking directly to sport parents (but athletes, don’t tune out just yet!). I had two parents in our community share the same concern: “I don’t want to say the wrong thing.” They love their kids, they want to help, but they’re afraid they might accidentally be making things worse. So in this episode, I’m sharing what I’ve learned about how to actually support your athlete, without adding pressure, without creating shutdowns, and without walking on eggshells. This is something I dive deep into in my Peak Performance Parenting course, but today I’m giving you the Reader’s Digest version so you can start building trust, connection, and resilience with your athlete right away. Whether you're a parent wondering how to be encouraging without pushing too hard, or an athlete who just wants to feel understood, this conversation is for you. In this episode, Coach Rebecca talks about: The different stages of change, and why “helpful” advice doesn’t always land How to know when your athlete is ready to talk, and when it’s better to just listen Why open-ended questions (not lectures!) are your best tool How to become your athlete’s safe space, even when they’re struggling Ways to build trust outside of sports conversations Why empathy goes further than problem-solving “When in doubt, do less. Your job is food, hugs, rides, and tuition. That’s it. Let the rest be about connection, not correction.” – Coach Rebecca Learn exactly what to say and do to guide your athlete through a mental block with my new book "Parenting Through Mental Blocks" Order your copy today: https://a.co/d/g990Bur Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/complete_performance/ Join my FaceBook page: https://www.facebook.com/completeperformancecoaching/ Check out my website: https://completeperformancecoaching.com/ Write to me!

There’s a specific kind of heartbreak that hits when your child doesn’t get moved up to the next level, especially when all their friends do. You see it in their face. You feel it in the silence on the car ride home. And as a parent, you just want to fix it. You want to make it better; give them hope and tell them to keep pushing. But deep down, you might already know… this just isn’t going to go the way they hoped. In this week’s episode of the PerformHappy Podcast, I’m diving into this all-too-familiar scenario. Whether it’s not moving up, not making the team, or falling short of a goal they’ve worked so hard for, disappointment is part of the journey—and it’s one of the hardest parts to navigate. I’ll share actionable tips to help you show up for your athlete in those tough moments—not with empty encouragement or forced positivity, but with presence, perspective, and support that actually helps them process what they’re going through. Because these are the moments that build mental toughness. Not just for your athlete, but for you, too. If you’ve ever found yourself sitting beside a teary-eyed kid, unsure of what to say or do, this episode is for you. Let’s walk through it together. Listen in now, wherever you get your podcasts. In this episode, Coach Rebecca talks about: Understanding the Athlete's Journey. Navigating Parental Support. Building Resilience Through Experience. The Importance of Emotional Neutrality.

If your athlete is stuck in a mental block, you’re not alone. That’s exactly what I’m diving into on this week’s PerformHappy Podcast — because fear is something so many athletes struggle with, and honestly, it was my biggest struggle too.

Either way, it can be incredibly frustrating for everyone involved. In this episode, I’m breaking down why fear shows up (even when it doesn’t always make sense), and I’m walking you through the exact 3-step method we use inside the PerformHappy Community to help athletes move through fear and come out stronger on the other side. Here’s the good news: If you apply these steps for just 10 minutes a day this summer, your athlete can start making real progress — and even have a breakthrough.

It’s frustrating. You’re doing everything “right.” You’ve got the mindset tools, the journaling prompts, the visualizations… but it’s still not clicking. In this week’s PerformHappy Podcast, I’m diving into a truth most people don’t talk about: sometimes mental training doesn’t work. Yep, I said it. There are athletes who put in the effort and still feel stuck. In this episode, I unpack the common reasons why—even with all the best tools—some kids don’t see results. And (spoiler alert), it’s not because they’re broken or lazy. A lot of the time, it has to do with what the adults in their life are doing (or not doing). If you’re a parent or coach who’s wondering why the mental training isn’t translating into progress, I’ll give you a quick overview of what might be getting in the way—and what to do about it. Listen in if you’re ready to stop spinning your wheels and finally help your athlete get unstuck. In this episode, Coach Rebecca talks about: The Limitations of Mental Training.

Do you know an athlete who’s super bendy, always impressing with their flexibility, but constantly dealing with little injuries or pain that won’t go away? In this week’s PerformHappy Podcast, I sat down with chiropractor and hypermobility expert Dr. Taylor Goldberg to unpack exactly what’s going on behind the scenes for these “Gumby-like” athletes. Dr. Goldberg shares her own journey as a high-level cheerleader—how being extra flexible wasn’t always the gift it seemed—and what she wishes she had known back then. We talk about the real risks of pushing flexibility too far (yep, we’re talking about over splits), and how strength is the missing link that could help save ultra-flexible athletes from years of chronic pain. If you’re a parent or coach of a super bendy kid, this episode is a must. You’ll learn how to spot hypermobility, why traditional stretching might be making things worse, and what you can do instead to build strength, prevent injuries, and support long-term health. In this episode, Coach Rebecca and Dr. Taylor Goldberg talk about: Understanding Hypermobility: Definitions and Types. The Key Indicators of Hypermobility. Injury Prevention for Hypermobile Athletes. Screening and Diagnosis of Hypermobility. Coaching Strategies for Hypermobile Athletes. Mindfulness and Mental Health for Hypermobility. “Overstretching is extremely dangerous and unnecessary." - Dr. Taylor Goldberg Dr. Taylor Goldberg's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehypermobilechiro/ Dr. Taylor Goldberg’s Website: https://thehypermobilechiro.com/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAafMoYX_8IbeV8g-Zbyq0Gw5eQAo7Hif0G7d8nQbStTQ6hnbniXJRLZSWyobmw_aem_H_S9KSg-q4GKfdxx_Ci1yQ Learn exactly what to say and do to guide your athlete through a mental block with my new book "Parenting Through Mental Blocks" Order your copy today: https://a.co/d/g990Bur Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/complete_performance/ Join my FaceBook page: https://www.facebook.com/completeperformancecoaching/ Check out my website: https://completeperformancecoaching.com/ Write to me!
