Does your partner think mindset work is “extra” or “unnecessary”?

You’re all in. You see how much confidence coaching helps your daughter and you’re ready to invest in her growth. But your partner? Not so sure. Maybe they think she’s too young. Maybe they see it as just another expense. Maybe they just don’t get it.

In this episode, I’m walking you through how to handle it when your partner’s not on the same page – and how to keep showing up anyway.

Here’s what we talk about:

✅ Why mindset work isn’t just another “nice-to-have”
✅ How to talk to a skeptical partner (without starting a fight)
✅ Real-life stories that help it all make sense
✅ The difference mental training makes beyond sports
✅ How moms often carry the emotional load and what to do with that
✅ Why waiting for a crisis isn’t the move
✅ What to say when your spouse just doesn’t see the value (yet)
✅ Encouragement if you’re doing this solo (you’re not alone)
✅ Simple next steps you can take right now

🎧 Listen to the full episode now and walk away with the words, the tools, and the confidence to take the next step, whether your partner’s all in or still figuring it out.

Episode Highlights: 

[00:00:00] The Mental Training Advantage. Confidence in sports translates to confidence in life, but getting your partner to see the value can be challenging.

[00:01:14] Real Results from Our Community. One parent shares how her husband transformed his mindset after completing the limiting beliefs module, improving their family dynamic.

[00:03:34] Strategy #1: Frame It as an Insurance Policy. Mental training protects your current investments by ensuring your daughter can perform under pressure and bounce back from setbacks.

[00:06:22] The ROI of Mental Skills. Athletes often struggle because of what happens between their ears – mental training maximizes the return on all the time and money already invested.

[00:07:26] Strategy #2: This Goes Beyond Sports. The skills learned through mental training – confidence, resilience, decision-making – apply to school, relationships, and future careers.

[00:11:05] Strategy #3: Recognize What’s Not Working. If current approaches (like tense car rides or “just toughen up” advice) aren’t helping, mental training offers a better way forward.

[00:14:58] Success Story: A Dad’s Perspective. A father of five athlete daughters shares how mental training improved not just their performance but also their family relationships.

[00:16:35] How to Take the Next Step. Resources to share with your partner: this episode, our free training at trainhergame.com, and testimonials from other parents.

[00:17:27] Final Encouragement. Mental training isn’t just about sports, it’s about equipping your daughter for life. The Elite Mental Game provides tools for both athletes and parents.

Episode Highlights: 

[00:00:00] Introduction to Off-Season Mental Training. Summer is the optimal time for athletes to develop mental skills before the next season begins. Starting mental training now helps athletes enter their next season confident and unburdened by previous struggles.

[00:00:38] Why Summer is Ideal for Mental Training. The off-season provides athletes with a competitive advantage by allowing mental resilience development without competitive pressures. Summer’s flexible schedule creates perfect conditions for consistent mental practice.

[00:02:19] Success Story: Real Impact of Mental Training. A testimonial demonstrates how off-season mental training transformed an athlete’s ability to handle setbacks. What were once devastating mistakes became minor, manageable challenges.

[00:08:24] The Importance of Proactive Training. Addressing mental weaknesses mid-season often proves ineffective. Off-season preparation ensures athletes enter competition ready for pressure, mistakes, and coaching demands.

[00:10:38] Program Breakdown: Elite Mental Game. The EMG program features bite-sized videos, practical exercises, and off-season planning. Athletes develop recovery skills, confidence techniques, and pre-season routines.

🚨 STOP saying the wrong thing before games!

I see it every season: well-meaning parents accidentally saying all the wrong things before games. That nervous athlete? The irritable one who snaps when you try to help? She’s not being difficult, she’s just overwhelmed. And your words could be making it worse.

✅ Real proof it works (like Jamie’s daughter who scored after one simple change)

✅ My free 25-phrase cheat sheet for pre- AND post-game moments

These aren’t magic words; they’re mindset tools I’ve tested with numerous athletes – and they’ll work for your daughter too.

Listen now and never again wonder: “What should I say before the game?”

[00:04:02] Phrase 1: "Trust Your Training" - the preparation reminder.

[00:04:43] Phrase 2: "Nerves Mean This Matters" - reframing anxiety.

[00:04:57] Phrase 3: "You're Not Alone" - team support assurance.

[00:05:39] Phrase 4: "I Love to Watch You Play" - unconditional support.

[00:06:29] Phrase 5: "Don't Suck" - using humor to lighten the mood.

[00:07:22] Why post-game conversations matter more than pre-game.

What if the secret to your daughter’s confidence isn’t more practice… but a mental game shift?

Two sports moms (one with a 9-year-old gymnast, another with a 12-year-old softball catcher) spill exactly how they transformed meltdowns into comebacks and rebuilt their own parenting playbooks along the way.

🔥 You’ll Learn:

• The car ride trick that got a resistant 9-year-old to say “Yes!” to mental training.
• One word that stops post-mistake spirals (even in front of judges or crowds).
• How to “shut up” (their words!) and let your athlete lead, while still being their #1 supporter.
• Snapback routines that work for gymnastics meets, softball games, and middle school drama.
• “Control the controllables”, the mantra that saved both moms from sideline stress-eating.
• Shocking parent confession: “I was part of the problem.” What they changed to rebuild trust.
• Stealable scripts for talking to coaches, handling bad calls, and surviving “I want to quit” moments.
• FREE tools: Competitor Style Quiz, bite-sized podcasts, and how to access live coach support.

🎧 Listen Now If…

• Your athlete crumbles under pressure (but kills it in practice).
• Post-game car rides feel like walking on eggshells.
• You want to prep them for life, not just trophies.
