Working with Sports Parents and Athletes

“Learn My Complete System For Helping Sports Parents Instill Confidence in Young Athletes“

New Program Helps Mental Coaches Improve Success With Young Athletes

From the Desk of Dr. Patrick Cohn

Dear Fellow Mental Coach,

When working with young athletes, sports parents can make or break the success you have with your clients. Your athletes’ parents can often undo the work you do with their young athletes…

For example, sports parents can hurt your athlete’s confidence. They don’t do it on purpose, but the net effect is lower confidence for some athletes. Parents can undermine your work with their athletes in other ways including:

Parents will try to motivate kids, but use a negative approach by punishing kids for poor play.
Parents will place high expectations on kids, which turns into pressure.
Parents can distract kids before and during competition.
Parents harp on kids’ mistakes after competition, which leads to less confidence.
Parents can even embarrass young athletes when they yell from the sidelines.

I’ve discovered over the last 10 years, after working with many parents and their young athletes, you have to use a team approach and help parents instill confidence and other positive mental skills. You want to educate parents how they can support their athletes mental game.

When parents don’t support their athletes’ mental game, this makes your job twice as hard because your athletes’ parents might be a big part of the reason your athletes are under performing or lacking confidence in competition.

Unfortunately, parents do not receive education on how they can help their athletes feel more confident, enjoy sports, and perform freely. Parents also don’t realize how they might undermine their athletes’ confidence and composure or create additional pressure.

Allow me to share a short story…

One athlete I worked with had a parent who always pointed out the athlete’s mistakes, even during games. This athlete would feel stress because she thought she wasn’t performing up to her parent’s expectations. This often led to her shutting down in the games instead of performing freely and up to her capabilities…

Here’s What I Discovered Over The Years…

Over the last 15 years of working with sports parents and their athletes, I’ve discovered that parents are willing and ready to support their athletes’ mental game–with my direction. Why? Parents come to you because their kids are under performing or feel too stressed to have fun in sports.

Here’s the important part… Your athletes will improve faster when you can help parents adopt a sports parenting approach that supports their athletes’ mental game. In some cases, parents work with me because they know they are part of the problem and want help.

If you can’t get your athletes’ parents to support the mental game, it’s harder to help your clients improve because they’ll still struggle with perfectionism, self-doubt, high expectations, pressure, and frustration.

I’m Sharing All My Parent Education Tools With You

Based on my discovery working closely with sports parents, I’ve decided to share all the same tools and resources I use (and my certified MGCPs use) to help sports parents and their young athletes.
