Want to know the number one thing gymnasts are worried about in competition?

One of the things we hear from gymnasts all the time is that they fear 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.

In this episode we get into some of the reasons behind their worry (how their brains are wired) 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.

Are your gymnasts making their routines in practice but falling once they get to the meet?

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.

And yet, we (and they) still think something has gone wrong when they actually fall in a meet. Even though ALL gymnasts fall in meets at some point.

Teaching your gymnast that falling is fine is the most effective way to help them hit consistently.  Join us as we talk about why and give some ideas for helping your gymnasts adopt this belief.  This will help them with performance anxiety, overcoming mental blocks and competing with confidence.

We have courses and coaching programs for individual gymnasts and gymnastics  teams that are  based on proven behavioral science. And results that speak for themselves. Invest in the one thing that will have the greatest impact on your gym or your gymnasts success. Their mind.

Does meet season sometimes feel like a rollercoaster of emotions for your gymnasts, totally dependent on how they did at the last meet?

Your gymnasts often time attach their feelings to their results. They think they can only feel proud if they win. Or that winning makes them happy and is the only thing that can prove that they are a good gymnast. 

This can create an emotional rollercoaster for them, and you as a coach! And leaves them at the mercy of the last meet, the last judge and the last score.

At the end of the day, no one has to do gymnastics. They do it because it is supposed to be fun. We want to help you help your gymnasts enjoy the journey.

In this episode learn how to help your gymnasts gain their power back over their emotions when it comes to scores, places, and even just falls. This will help them immensely with performance anxiety, mental blocks in competition and competing with confidence.

Are your gymnasts hard on themselves when they mess up? Especially in a meet? Does it sometimes ruin the rest of their competition, or their confidence going into the next event and the next meet?

They need to learn how to control their self-talk in a way that helps them instead of hinders them. Because the thing it hinders the very most is their confidence. 

When your gymnasts can go into a meet knowing they will have their own back and treat themselves well no matter what, they will be willing to try so much more. And be so much more relaxed.

In this episode Ali and Stacie talk through this with practical ideas of what you can do to help your gymnasts develop positive self talk so they can overcome performance anxiety, calm their nerves and compete with confidence.
