HOW CAN A MENTAL PERFORMANCE COACH BE OF SERVICE TO PARENTS?
Why Work with a Sports Performance Coach?
Parents play a vital role in an athlete’s journey, but navigating the challenges of sports can sometimes feel overwhelming. As a mental performance coach, I work with parents to equip them with the tools and strategies to support their child’s growth, both on and off the field. Here’s how I can help:
“As a parent, I always struggled to know how to best support my son. He was always so hard himself and I didn't know how to help him work through that. Going to Athlos and working with Mark gave me the tools needed to feel confident as a parent of a multi-sport child and helping him work through the everyday pressures of being a high-performance athlete.”
1. Understanding the Mental Game
Gain insights into the psychological aspects of sports performance, so you can better understand your child’s challenges and triumphs.
2. Supporting Emotional Resilience
Learn how to help your child manage setbacks, cope with stress, and develop a growth mindset that encourages perseverance and self-confidence.
3. Fostering Healthy Communication
Improve how you communicate with your athlete to create a supportive environment that motivates and empowers them without adding pressure.
4. Navigating High-Pressure Situations
Discover ways to provide calm, constructive support during competitions or critical moments, ensuring your presence is a source of strength.
5. Balancing Expectations
Work on setting realistic, positive expectations that promote growth and enjoyment rather than fear of failure.
6. Managing Your Own Emotions
Sports can bring out strong emotions in parents too! I help you stay composed and constructive, even when the stakes feel high.
7. Encouraging Long-Term Development
Shift the focus from short-term wins to long-term success, ensuring your child enjoys the journey while building character, resilience, and life skills.
By partnering with a mental performance coach, you can play an even more impactful role in your child’s athletic journey. Together, we can create an environment where they thrive, both in sports and in life.
