When you walk through the door at practice, when you step onto the field for the big game - Do you trust what athlete is going to show up, or do you feel like it's a guessing game? Learning to trust who you are, building up your self-belief, takes time and effort. Once you've strengthened your relationship with yourself, you'll know 100% without a doubt which athlete will be showing up. 

In this episode I break down what it means to trust yourself, and how you can build a relationship with yourself. I provide two different strategies you can start today, that will help you strengthen your self-belief and build your self-trust. After all, the number one thing standing in the way of your success - IS YOU. 

It's time for me to take a break. As I've shared with you all, even the most confident people still struggle. 

Leading up to episode 16 I knew it was time for me to take some time away to focus on my mental health, and the mental health of those surrounding me - my loved ones. 

I can't wait to be back with episode 16 - Building Self-Trust - coming out on November 22nd. Until then, if you need that extra boost, I encourage you to visit a favorite past episode, continue journaling, and reaching out to your support system. 

If there's something heavy weighing on you and you need someone to talk through it with you, please don't hesitate to reach out. You can always get in contact with me via my website - RoutineActivation.com - for the time being I'll also be taking a hiatus from social media. You can still reach out to me via instagram and facebook, just know I won't be monitoring those accounts for the time being. 

Your support means the world to me, thank you for listening in, and I'll be back soon!

Showing up for yourself sounds easy enough - but besides physically being present at practice, what does it take to show up for yourself mentally each day? If you feel like you can't, or you don't, show up for your goals and yourself each day - do you understand why? 

In this episode I help you uncover what is holding you back from showing up for yourself! Listen in to learn how you can strengthen your belief in yourself and set your path on obtaining your goals. Showing up for yourself is an important step in building your confidence because confident people believe in themselves. When you put energy into showing up for yourself everyday, you're choosing to believe in yourself.

Have you ever been in the position where you want to try something new, you aspire to be different, but you just can't seem to take that first step? You can't get out of your head and your goals aren't working out for you? Maybe your parents are really supportive or your friends are encouraging you, but at the end of the day you don't take action. You feel reservations and you hold yourself back because of uncertainty. 

I want you to know, the reason you're not meeting your goals is because you're listening to your inner critic. 

In this episode I'm going to help you talk back to that voice and identify the narrative that's keeping you from meeting your goals. Let me teach you how to silence that voice so that you can move forward and achieve all of the things that you aspire to do!

Imposter Syndrome is a complex topic. It's a combination of comparison, self-doubt, and your environment. If you've ever struggled with thoughts of doubt, feelings of not belonging, or non-inviting athletic environments, then you've probably experienced Imposter Syndrome. It can show up in many different ways and athletes usually suffer in silence, afraid to speak up and draw attention to themselves. I want to put an end to this, I want you to recognize Imposter Syndrome for what it truly is - a cycle of comparison to an environment you perceive, an environment that you can't picture yourself in. 

In this episode I'll help you take a look at Imposter Syndrome from a new viewpoint, one of understanding what you can and can't control, and how both elements play a part in how you feel. We'll discuss glass ceilings, how being uniquely you is amazing, what your environment is subconsciously telling you, and how to prevent Imposter Syndrome.

Do you ever get caught in a funk of not feeling "enough"...or maybe feeling like you're playing catch up to everyone else? Well what if I told you those feelings you are having are due to a negative cycle of comparison that you've trapped yourself in?! Comparison is all around us, and comparing our life to others is human nature...but that doesn't mean it has to be a negative experience!

In this episode I coach you on both cycles of comparison - the negative and the positive - and you get to decide for yourself which you want to partake in! Both cycles are compromised of 4 phases: Data Collection, Mindset, Action or Inaction, and Results. Whether you're stuck with thoughts of feeling behind or getting results that aren't meeting your expectations, re-evaluating your relationship with comparison will help you regain focus and direction on what really matters - YOUR journey -

Are you trying to help your athletes by telling them what to do, and you're met with nothing but attitude? Maybe it's because they view you as overbearing. Coaches and parents can often act in an overbearing manner without even realizing or intending too. When you overpower someone you inadvertently take away their voice and decision making abilities. 

This episode will explore the idea of being an overbearing person, and how you can avoid this behavior when working with your athletes. I'll talk about how a little explanation can go a long way, and how helping your athlete become an action taker is providing them with all the self support they need. I also provide some great conversation starters for you to use with your athlete's, to get that ball rolling and make confidence easier to talk about. I've listed these conversation starters below! 

This is the last episode for my 3 part series aimed at helping parents and coaches. If you've enjoyed what you've learned I encourage you to tag along for the remainder of season one!

2:45 - What Being Overbearing Looks Like

6:33 - How to Avoid Being Overbearing

~ How would your life look different if you had more confidence - is there something you want to do?

~ In what area of your life do you want to have a strong voice or not second guess yourself?

~ Have you ever avoided speaking up because you're worried about what people would say about you?

Does your athlete suffer from low self-esteem, low confidence in their abilities, or simply feeling inadequate? They may need some help and encouragement in identifying their self-worth. Your athletes confidence is being undermined everyday, but not how you might expect...it's by their own negative internal dialogue. Also known as self-doubt. Self-doubt in athletes is a constant reoccurring mental battle that they face every day. These negative thoughts can creep in for the most experienced and gifted athletes, or those just starting out and new to a sport. By helping your athletes fact check their negative thoughts, you can help them learn to crush their self-doubt. 

In this episode I'll discuss:

~ How leading by example can help your athletes feel comfortable talking about their doubts

~ How to cultivate strong thoughts to quiet a negative dialogue

~ How comparison is robbing your athlete of their full potential

~ How to remove some comparison out of your athlete's life

Does your son or daughters struggle with performance anxiety? Do the athletes you coach excel at practice, and then cave to anxiety attacks at the game? Are your younger siblings or teammates struggling with performance anxiety and you don't know how to help?

If you resonate with these statements, then I'd love to help you out! This is the first episode in a three part series geared towards helping parents and coaches of athletes. In this episode I discuss how you can use empathy to prevent anxiety attacks before they happen, and what 3 step process you can do with your athletes when they are having an anxiety attack.

If you're dealing with performance anxiety, I want you to know you're not alone, and I want you to have the ability to take back control of your mindset.

In this episode I'm going to coach you on how to do an effective brain dump, provide pre performance affirmations (you can find them down below!), and coach you through a breathing exercise that you can use whenever your performance anxiety strikes.

All of my coaching comes from personal experience. I do struggle with anxiety attacks, and having the ability to coach myself through an attack is what has provided me the most freedom and confidence.

You deserve to be the best, most confident, badass athlete you can be, and that starts by taking back control of your mindset.
