"I suck." "I'm useless." "Why do I even bother?"
I'm a 2x Olympian and Mental Toughness Coach and the negative self-talk I hear from athletes is over the top.
Here's the problem: THEY BELIEVE IT.
They cannot separate who they are from what they do.
Your constant criticism and lecturing doesn't help.
Your words are interpreted as judgement and they turn it into self-judgement.
Athletes are under-equipped and over-scrolled (is there such a word?).
They lack emotional intelligence and self-awareness.
They are more connected to their phone than themselves.
They need a toolkit. You can help with that.
I run workshops for parents and coaches.
I will show you how to increase their emotional intelligence.
You can teach them to look within rather than at a screen.
Let's go!
CHANGE DOESN'T TAKE TIME. IT TAKES COURAGEOUS ACTION.
