Sport psychology for kids is just as important as sport psychology for older athletes. The mental skills they learn will help improve their mental health, along with increasing their performance.
Now, the best and most effective way to build mental skills in youth athletes is one-on-one coaching. If you’re interested in learning more about mental coaching, please click here: www.successstartswithin.com/s....
In addition to one-on-one coaching, there are strategies you can begin to implement as a coach or parent to help build mental skills in young athletes.
The important thing to remember, though, whenever you’re working on a youth athlete’s mindset, is that repetition is key. You must apply these strategies consistently for them to have the most impact.
If you do, they will help develop valuable mental skills that will stick with them as they get older.

[@adriandis]

Do you have a strategy to learn from failures instead of minimize it and justify? Thank you.

[@elistraw]

The last strategy I talk about, where the athlete asks themselves what they did well and what they can learn, it a great exercise to have them learn from their failures. Because they aren't minimizing them or pretending like they weren't there, instead, they are viewing them in a productive way and thinking about how they can actually learn something from the mistake they made and apply it to their practice and training to improve. Hope this helps!

[@adriandis]

@@elistraw Thanks a lot! We'll try that.
