PerformHappy with Rebecca Smith

Why Kids Get Camp Superpowers and How to Keep Them


Listen Later

This week on the PerformHappy Podcast, I’m sharing one of my favorite topics: the “camp magic” that gives athletes those powerful bursts of confidence, and what you can do when that confidence disappears back at the gym.

Whether it’s a breakthrough skill at camp or a fearless moment at competition, those experiences can feel like superpowers. But why don’t they last? I’ll explain what’s actually going on in the brain when athletes are in fresh, positive environments, and how you can capture that feeling and bring it home.

If your athlete has ever done something brave at camp or at a meet, only to freeze again in practice, this episode is for you.

In this episode, Coach Rebecca talks about:

  • What “camp superpowers” are, and why kids often break through blocks in new environments
  • The science behind how your environment impacts confidence and fear
  • What to do when confidence fades once your athlete is home
  • How to identify your “camp alter ego” and show up as them every day

“If you want consistent confidence, you have to figure out what sets you up for success, and then do more of that.” – Coach Rebecca
