“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! 💪🏽🧠
