If your daughter is constantly comparing herself to other athletes more than focusing on her own game, or losing confidence this is your episode! Have her take this quiz to find out your competitor style: elitecompetitor.com/athlete

 Comparison is one of the most common confidence killers in girl athletes. It feels normal. It even feels productive sometimes. But when her focus is on everyone else, she loses the one thing that actually moves the needle - her own game. 

👋🏼 Hi, I'm Coach Saylor, a mental performance coach for girl athletes. I empower girl athletes with tools to build confidence and manage pressure so they can compete freely and passionately. 

In this episode I'm breaking down exactly why comparison keeps athletes stuck and how to shift it into something that actually fuels performance. 

Here's what you'll learn:
✅ Why comparison is a normal part of athletics (and why that doesn't make it okay to stay there)
✅ The signs your daughter is stuck in the comparison trap right nowHow to help her flip comparison into inspiration instead of a confidence spiral
✅ Why her teammate's success is not a threat to hers - and how to help her believe that
✅ A simple mental shift that gets her focus back on what she can actually control 

The biggest takeaway from this one → there is room for both of them to succeed. Her daughter's success does not take away from anyone else's, and I explain exactly how to help her see that.💛

P.S. A few stats worth knowing:
💡 70% of young athletes quit sports by age 13 (National Alliance for Youth Sports) 
💡 Social comparison is one of the top 3 sources of competitive anxiety in adolescent female athletes. (Hanton, Mellalieu & Hall, Journal of Applied Sport Psychology, 2004)
💡 Athletes who focus on personal improvement goals (vs. comparing to others) show significantly higher motivation and lower dropout rates. (Duda & Nicholls, Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology, 1992)
