PerformHappy with Rebecca Smith

How to Get Your Skill Back Before Season Starts


Listen Later

This week on the PerformHappy Podcast, I’m talking to athletes who are stuck. You know you’re capable of doing the skill—you’ve done it before—but for some reason, it’s just not happening right now. Maybe you’re dealing with the pressure of move-ups, recovering from a past fall, or your brain is simply hitting the brakes. You’re not alone, and there is a way through it that doesn’t involve just pushing harder or trying to force your way over the mental block.

In fact, trying to "just do it" is usually the opposite of what works. In this episode, I’m sharing what actually helps: starting with ditching perfection, tuning into what your brain needs, and building momentum through small wins. Whether you're the athlete going through it, or a parent or coach supporting someone who is, you’ll walk away with clear, actionable tools to make progress—even when progress feels slow.

In this episode, Coach Rebecca talks about:

  • How to shift your focus from perfection to progress
  • The power of treating each turn like an experiment
  • What to do instead of comparing yourself to your best day
  • Why communication with coaches and parents is important to getting unstuck
  • One essential mindset shift for parents

“When you stop judging every turn and start treating it like data, you actually build the confidence you’ve been chasing.” – Coach Rebecca
