How to Help Your Athlete Build Confidence From the Inside Out

If you're feeling frustrated and helpless as your young athlete struggles with self-doubt, anxiety, or lack of confidence, then you’re not alone!
The good news: building inner confidence is a learned skill that can be cultivated with targeted strategies and support. That’s what Coach Rebecca is covering in today’s episode.
The Inner Confidence Formula
Parental involvement is essential in shaping a young athlete's sense of self-worth. Coach Rebecca discusses building inner confidence in young athletes and what parents can do to support that process.
She shares how important it is for parents and caregivers to offer love, support, and affirmation to young athletes, regardless of their performance. She also highlights the negative impact of social media and conventional norms on athletes' self-esteem and gives practical tips on how to cultivate a growth mindset and embrace failure as an opportunity for learning.
In this episode, you’ll learn how to:
Bolster your kid’s inner confidence.
Comprehend the key role of self-trust and self-awareness as the foundation of true inner confidence.
