Why Physical Training Isn't Enough This Summer (What Great Athletes Do Differently)


Listen Later

Summer is when athletes either separate themselves or fall behind. Here's what the best ones do differently. Free training for sports moms → https://trainhergame.com/mom

Most athletes treat summer like an extended break and then walk into tryouts wondering why nothing changed.

In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly what separates average athletes from great ones this summer, and it's not just showing up to open gyms.

👋🏼 I'm Coach Bre, a a Certified Mental Performance Coach, a 14-year head volleyball coach, and a 4x state championship winner. I'm also the founder of The Elite Competitor, a mental performance program built exclusively for girl athletes ages 11-18 and their moms. 

You'll learn:
✅ Why motivation is the worst training partner you can have
✅ How to build a real physical training plan that you'll actually stick to
✅ What mental training is and why it matters more than most athletes realize
✅ How visualization gives you mental reps without extra wear on your body
✅ Why the athlete you were last season is what shows up under pressure - and how to change that

⬇️ I've been a head volleyball coach for 14 years and we've won four consecutive state championships. The athletes who separate themselves every single summer do these things.

If your daughter has goals to play at the next level or compete for a championship, this one is for her.

P.S. A few things worth knowing:  
⚡️Athletes who use mental skills training show measurably better performance consistency under pressure, particularly in high-stakes competition moments. (Association for Applied Sport Psychology)
⚡️ Visualization activates the same neural pathways as physical practice, giving athletes measurable performance gains without additional physical training load. (University of Chicago, Blaslotto research on visualization and performance)
⚡️Only 9% of high school athletes go on to play college sports. The mental game is often what determines who breaks through. (NCAA Research)

The Raising Elite Competitors channel is hosted by The Elite Competitor and is dedicated to helping sports moms strengthen their daughter's mental game and confidence in order to help her perform her best when it matters most.
