“I just don’t understand. She plays SO well in practice, but when we get to games, it’s like she’s a completely different player.”

And I get it! I’ve heard this from parents a hundred times!

After 14 years of coaching volleyball, I’ve seen this happen to SO many athletes. 🏐

The thing is, in your daughter’s mind, games can feel completely different from practices. There’s a score, pressure to win, fear of making mistakes, and people watching.

Suddenly, an athlete who normally plays with confidence starts questioning herself, overthinking, and worrying about messing up.

And that change in mindset can completely change how she performs.

As a Certified Mental Performance Consultant, I teach athletes practical mental skills to develop a healthier game-day mindset, build confidence, and bounce back from mistakes.

The goal? To help the same confident athlete you see in practice show up on game day, too.

If this sounds like your daughter, follow along or send me a message! 💪🏽🧠

If someone asked an athlete what they’re good at, how easily could they answer?

They might come up with one or two things. But ask them what they need to work on?? 👀 They can usually rattle off five without even thinking.

Sound familiar? This is exactly the kind of skill we work on at The Mental Gain.

Learning to recognize your strengths isn’t about ignoring weaknesses or pretending everything is positive. It’s about recognizing what you bring to your team, what makes you valuable, and what you can rely on when things get hard.

Building confidence is a skill, and it can be taught 🧠💪🏽

PART 2: How does your athlete recover after mistakes?

Mistakes are information — Kensi evaluates what went wrong, identifies how she can adjust, and uses positive self-talk to approach each attempt with confidence.

The goal isn’t to avoid mistakes. It’s to teach athletes how to bounce back with confidence and learn from them.

Don’t get us wrong - we LOVE private lessons. But you can’t out-rep a mindset problem. You can perfect the serve, shot, or technique - but if mistakes still lead to overthinking and a loss in confidence, it’s time to train something different 🧠

What does mental skills training actually look like? 🧠🏐

A little look inside a Mental Gain team session—from connection and reflection, to learning mental skills and practicing them in a sport-specific context.

Mental skills are something athletes can learn, practice, and develop - just like physical skills

🛑 Stop reminding
✅ Start teaching
Anyone can get a team to communicate well for a day. The Mental Gain helps build team communication habits that last an entire season and beyond.

So if you’re tired of constantly reminding them to “talk” or have “more energy”, let’s build communication habits that last—so your athletes start reminding each other instead 🗣️
