Episode Highlights: 

[00:00:30] Join Coach Bre as she delves into the factors you should consider when determining the right moment to focus on your athlete’s mental game. Discover the secrets to making informed decisions and learn from the experiences of others who have achieved remarkable results.

[00:01:28] Sport Moms, Jana, a mom in our community who shared her daughter's basketball journey. Despite struggles, she found our program helpful and is excited to apply the tools for the upcoming season. Another mom also praised the valuable information provided.

[00:03:53] There are two types of parents when it comes to their daughters' sports. Parent 1 is the "wait and see" parent, hoping things will work out on their own and relying on the coach to teach the mental side of the game. Parent 2 is the proactive mom, understanding the importance of equipping their daughter with skills for both sports and life.

[00:09:06] The best time to work on your daughter's mental game in sports is always now. Whether it's the off-season or in-season, she will constantly face challenges, making it crucial to equip her with mental skills to navigate them effectively. Don't wait, start now.

[00:11:00] Summer off-season is an ideal time to focus on mental training for athletes. With more time freedom during the summer, it becomes easier to dedicate time to develop mental skills without the same level of commitments during the regular season. 

[00:12:59] The in-season is also a favorable time for mental training. Athletes can apply what they learn quickly to their daily practice and training, allowing for immediate adjustments and feedback. However, the challenge lies in managing time constraints during the season.

[00:15:57] Coach Bre points out that the areas of focus for your daughter during the summer will probably differ from those during her competitive season. As she transitions to various sports or different seasons, her focus will likely shift accordingly.
