Real coaches from volleyball, basketball, and lacrosse share exactly how they squeezed mental training into their season without sacrificing a single rep.

πŸ‘‹πŸΌ 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.

Here's what you'll learn in this episode:
βœ… How to use dead time (before practice, between school and practice) to run a 15-minute session
βœ… The one skill all three coaches kept coming back to
βœ… Why their athletes started asking for mental training on their own
βœ… How mental skills transferred beyond sport into school and home life

🎯 These aren't theory-based tips. These are coaches in the thick of it, telling you what actually worked.

P.S. Here's what the research shows:Β 
⚑️ Athletes who use structured reset routines recover from errors up to 40% faster during competition. (Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology, Mesagno & Mullane-Grant, 2010)
⚑️ Visualization activates the same neural pathways as physical practice, meaning mental reps have measurable impact on skill execution. (Journal of Neurophysiology, Jeannerod, 2001)
⚑️ 95% of elite athletes report using mental training, yet fewer than 10% of high school coaches have a formal system for teaching it. (Association for Applied Sport Psychology, 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.
