ATHLETE'S MINDSET ACADEMY

Jealousy and comparison is not only a negative thing for your gymnasts individually, it can have a real negative impact on your team. This week we talk about why your gymnasts brains constantly go to comparison and jealousy and how to help them with it.

One of the things that  gymnasts tell us worry them the most is their fear of disappointing their coaches, parents and teammates with how they do in competition. It drastically affects their ability to enjoy competing and adds so much pressure. 

Here is why they are worried and some things that you can do to help them learn how to let go of their worry and start focusing in on their gymnastics.  This will help with performance anxiety, mental blocks, fear of falling and competing with confidence.  

We want every gymnast and coach to enjoy the journey.  We specialize in helping gymnasts and coaches with the mental and emotional side of gymnastics.  We have combined proven behavioral science principles with sports psychology to create gymnastics mindset coaching that gets results.  Schedule a free intro session where we can coach you or your gymnast right away.

One of the first things we teach a young gymnast is how to fall safely. Because we all know that for sure, a gymnast is going to fall. And so we prepare them for it.

Your gymnasts often time attach their feelings to their results. This can create an emotional rollercoaster for them, and you as a coach! 

It can seem in gymnastics, that your gymnasts being tired all the time, sore, without enough energy to get through workout is just how it is. That injuries are just par for the course. But according to our special guest, Kerry Bair with the Gymnast RD, it doesn’t have to be this way. Most gymnasts experience this because they are under fueled. They simply aren’t eating enough.   Mental blocks, frustration, being hangry, all are symptoms of your gymnast simply not having enough fuel to do what gymnastics requires of them. Listen in to this incredibly informative conversation to learn more about proper fueling for your gymnast so they can be successful. A well fueled gymnast is a happier, healthier gymnast.

The second pillar of competing with confidence is learning how to deal with your emotions. Competition is full of strong emotions, and knowing how to deal with them - and how not to dread them will help your athlete tremendously in competition. Dealing with performance anxiety, overcoming fears and nerves, and being mentally tough is all about learning how to not just stuff aside emotion, but how to process and deal with them. In this episode, we talk about how to do just that.
