Your athletes have the talent. But talent doesn't help when she's spiraling after one mistake.

The fix isn't another pep talk. It's three teachable skills she can use in real time, on the court, when the pressure hits.

👋🏼 I'm Coach Bre, a 4-time state champion volleyball coach and Certified Mental Performance Coach. I've spent 14+ years coaching girl athletes and built The Elite Competitor to give coaches proven, plug-and-play mental training systems that actually work.  

In this episode, I'm breaking down:
👉 The Snapback Routine - a 2-second failure recovery system (breath + reset word + reset signal)
👉 Visualization - why her brain fires the same neural pathways in a mental rep as a real one
👉 The anxiety reframe backed by Harvard research - one phrase that measurably improves performance

Telling isn't teaching. These three skills hand your athletes the mechanism, not just the message.

P.S. Here's what the research shows:  
⚡️ When athletes mentally rehearse a skill in vivid detail, the neural pathways fire the same way as during physical practice. (Cleveland Clinic)
⚡️ Athletes who reframed pre-competition anxiety as excitement showed measurably higher performance than those who tried to calm down. (Wood Brooks, A., Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2014)
⚡️Only 9% of high school coaches report receiving formal training in sport psychology or mental performance. (Journal of Athletic Training, 2021)

The Coach Her Game channel is hosted by The Elite Competitor and is dedicated to helping coaches of girl athletes strengthen their mental game and team culture in order to develop a competitive edge.
