Why Mental Training Doesn't Work


Listen Later

It’s frustrating. You’re doing everything “right.” You’ve got the mindset tools, the journaling prompts, the visualizations… but it’s still not clicking. In this week’s PerformHappy Podcast, I’m diving into a truth most people don’t talk about: sometimes mental training doesn’t work.

Yep, I said it. There are athletes who put in the effort and still feel stuck.

In this episode, I unpack the common reasons why—even with all the best tools—some kids don’t see results. And (spoiler alert), it’s not because they’re broken or lazy. A lot of the time, it has to do with what the adults in their life are doing (or not doing).

If you’re a parent or coach who’s wondering why the mental training isn’t translating into progress, I’ll give you a quick overview of what might be getting in the way—and what to do about it.

Listen in if you’re ready to stop spinning your wheels and finally help your athlete get unstuck.

In this episode, Coach Rebecca talks about:

The Limitations of Mental Training.

The Role of Parents and Coaches in Mental Training.

The Impact of External Pressures on Mental Training.

The Importance of Trust and Growth Mindset 

“Kids who stay stuck in fear long-term usually have a parent or coach issue behind it." - Rebecca Smith
