    How to Help Your Daughter Stop Comparing Herself to Other Athletes

    If your daughter is constantly comparing herself to other athletes more than focusing on her own game, or losing confidence this is your episode! Have her take this quiz to find out your competitor style: elitecompetitor.com/athlete  Comparison is one of the most common confidence killers in girl athletes. It feels normal. It even feels productive sometimes. But when her focus is on everyone else, she loses the one thing that actually moves the needle - her own game.  👋🏼 Hi, I'm Coach Saylor, a mental performance coach for girl athletes. I empower girl athletes with tools to build confidence and manage pressure so they can compete freely and passionately.  In this episode I'm breaking down exactly why comparison keeps athletes stuck and how to shift it into something that actually fuels performance.  Here's what you'll learn: ✅ Why comparison is a normal part of athletics (and why that doesn't make it okay to stay there) ✅ The signs your daughter is stuck in the comparison trap right nowHow to help her flip comparison into inspiration instead of a confidence spiral ✅ Why her teammate's success is not a threat to hers - and how to help her believe that ✅ A simple mental shift that gets her focus back on what she can actually control  The biggest takeaway from this one → there is room for both of them to succeed. Her daughter's success does not take away from anyone else's, and I explain exactly how to help her see that.💛  🕓 Key Moments: 00:00 Introduction 01:38 Signs You're in the Comparison Trap 02:41 Shift Focus to Your Own Game03:26 Turn Comparison Into Inspiration 04:34 There's Room for Everyone to Succeed 06:32 Take Action & Next Steps  Want to learn more about how to support your daughter's mental game?

    Samantha Went From Spiraling to Shooting a 76 (Here's What Changed)

    EMG Athlete of the Month, Samantha, went from spiraling after one bad shot to shooting a 76 the very next day. Here's how she did it ➡️ https://trainhergame.com/mom Samantha is a middle school golfer and our January Athlete of the Month inside the Elite Mental Game. She came in struggling with confidence, caring too much about what other players thought, and spiraling after mistakes with no way out. What changed? She learned actual tools. ✅ The Snapback Routine - a quick breath, reset word, and signal to get her head right after any mistake ✅ The What If Flip - turning worst-case spirals into best-case possibilities ✅ The 10-Second Rule - her own invention for processing mistakes without getting stuck in them 💛 The moment that says it all: Samantha looked at a rough first day of a two-day tournament and decided to just have fun. No pressure. No scoreboard obsession. She shot a 76 on day two. This is what mental training actually looks like in real life. Not perfection. Not "shake it off." A real girl athlete with real tools who learned how to bounce back.If your daughter struggles with confidence, mistakes, or getting in her own head, this episode is for her and for you. 💬 Key Moments: 00:00 Introduction & Welcome 01:52 Samantha's Golf Journey 03:42 Discovering EMG 05:06 Favorite Tools & Techniques 06:41 Tournament Comeback Story 09:31 Confidence & Growth 10:21 Goals & Future Plans 12:28 Advice & Closing Athlete of the month episodes are hosted by REC Coach Saylor, a mental performance coach for girl athletes.

She's nine years old, a competitive swimmer, and our December Athlete of the Month inside the Elite Mental Game. At her first swim meet after starting the program, she used her Snapback Routine for the very first time. She placed first in two events. Third in another. And dropped nearly 14 seconds in one event alone. Her mom Sarah said she was blown away by Mackenzie's excitement, dedication, and commitment. In fact, Mackenzie asked for a journal so she could take notes on the Zoom calls.🏊‍♀️  In this episode, you'll hear: ✅ What Mackenzie said about her first time using the Snapback Routine ✅ Why mental skills matter even more in swimming (the clock doesn't lie) ✅ What Sarah noticed about her daughter's confidence before her next meet ✅ How mom and daughter worked through the program together This is the shared transformation we talk about. When your daughter has the tools to reset quickly, she doesn't just swim faster. She believes in herself differently. And that's the whole point. 💛 💬 Key Moments: 00:00 Introduction 01:20 Mackenzie's Snapback Routine Success 02:03 First Swim Meet Results 02:58 Mom's Perspective 04:55 Closing & Call to Action Athlete of the month episodes are hosted by REC Coach Saylor, a mental performance coach for girl athletes.

    We Quit Our Sports. Now We're Helping Girls Stay and Lead with Confidence

    We both quit our sports despite being talented. Here's what girls actually need to stay in the game → https://trainhergame.com/mom Girls are quitting sports at twice the rate of boys by age 14. But it's not about talent or access. The real reason? Mental game. Fear of judgment, anxiety, pressure to perform, low confidence. In this episode, my co-founder Kristina and I are sharing our personal stories about quitting our sports. Stories we don't usually tell. Kristina was a basketball starter who quit her senior year because she physically couldn't shoot anymore. Not because she lost her skills, but because she couldn't handle the pressure of standing out and the fear of friends getting mad at her for being too good. I turned down college volleyball offers after my senior year because the emotional cost felt unbearable. Between my parents' divorce and perfectionism, I felt like I was failing everyone no matter what I did. We both came back to our sports later. But we shouldn't have had to quit in the first place to find peace. That's why we built The Elite Competitor and the Play, Stay, Lead mission. What You'll Learn: ✅ Why girls quit sports at twice the rate of boys (and it's not what you think) ✅ The real reason talented athletes walk away from their sport ✅ How mental game challenges show up (pressure to be invisible, perfectionism, anxiety) ✅ What keeps girls in sports longer and turns them into confident leaders ✅ The mission behind everything we do at The Elite Competitor 👋🏼 I'm Coach Bre, a mental performance coach for girl athletes, Co-Founder of The Elite Competitor, and a former head volleyball coach and 4-time state champion. 🕓 Key Moments:  00:00 Introduction: The Girls Sports Crisis 02:40 The Mission: Play, Stay, Lead 04:39 Kristina's Story: Quitting Basketball 12:32 Bre's Story: Walking Away from Volleyball 17:04 Coming Back: Finding the Game Again 22:36 Why Girls Quit: The Mental Game Gap 24:13 Building Future Leaders Through Sports 25:52 How You Can Help: Parents and Coaches 💬 Parents - comment below: Did you or your daughter ever struggle with wanting to be good but not wanting to stand out? 📌 Resources & Tools 🙌 What's Your Competitor Style Quiz (to send your athlete!): https://www.videoask.com/fnbmhduxy 💜 Conversation Guide w/ Scripts to Bring Up Mental Training: https://s3.amazonaws.com/kajabi-storefronts-production/file-uploads/sites/144031/downloads/66e16c-6886-4a62-b8db-c43a1ae18fbd_The_Elite_Mental_Game_Conversation_Starter.pdf%20 🎯 FREE Training for Sports Moms: https://trainhergame.com/mom 📺 YouTube Playlist for Athletes: https://www.youtube.com/@AthleteMentalEdge 🎓 The Elite Mental Game (our self-paced mental training program): https://elitecompetitor.com/emg 🔔 Subscribe for more mental training tips for girl athletes ⬇️  Raising Elite Competitors   P.S.

    [ATHLETE TIP] When You're Feeling Nervous, Try This!

    Feeling nervous before games? Here's a simple one-word reframe that changes everything: Instead of saying "I'm nervous," say "I'm excited." Your body literally can't tell the difference. 🎯 FREE ATHLETE TRAINING: trainhergame.com Here's the truth: nervousness and excitement produce identical physical responses. Faster heartbeat. Clammy hands. Dilated pupils. The only difference is how you label it.  When you reframe nerves as excitement, you stop viewing your body's response as a threat and start seeing it as your competitive advantage. This one shift helps you show up ready to compete at your best.  In this episode, I break down the science behind why this works and share a client win from Rose, a track athlete who just broke 7 minutes in the 1600 for the first time using mental training tools. Plus, I introduce the concept of finding your optimal "hype number" so you can show up at exactly the right energy level every single time.  👋🏼 I'm Coach Bre, a Certified Mental Performance Coach and former 4x state championship volleyball coach with 14 years of experience. I help girl athletes ages 11-18 build unshakeable confidence and develop the mental skills that create a competitive advantage. At The Elite Competitor, we believe your mental game is what separates good athletes from great ones.  🕓 Key Moments: 00:00 Introduction: Nervousness is Normal 00:38 Athlete Spotlight: Rose's Success 01:31 The Hack: Say 'I'm Excited' 01:49 Understanding Your Body's Response 02:58 Advanced Strategies & Resources  💬 Athletes - comment below: how do you manage your nerves before big games?  💡 MENTAL TRAINING RESOURCES FOR ATHLETES: 🔗 Free Training: trainhergame.com 🔗 The Elite Mental Game Program: elitecompetitor.com/emg 🔗 Instagram: @raising.elite.competitors 🔗 FREE Training for Sports Moms: https://trainhergame.com/mom 📺 YouTube Playlist for Athletes: https://www.youtube.com/@AthleteMentalEdg 🙌 What's Your Competitor Style Quiz (for athletes!): https://www.videoask.com/fnbmhduxy 📩 Questions?

    Car Ride Home After Bad Games: What to Do When She Beats Herself Up

    If your daughter has ever said "I suck" after a game and you had no idea how to respond, this one's for you. 💛 Join my free training for sports moms: https://trainhergame.com/mom  I used to think the best response was to immediately reassure her. Tell her she played great. Remind her of all the things she did well.  But here's what I learned after 14 years of coaching girl athletes: That response actually makes her feel MORE misunderstood, not less.  In this video, I'm breaking down the 3-step system that actually works when your daughter tears herself apart after games or practices.  🎯 What you'll learn: Why "No you don't! You played great!" backfires (and what she's actually hearing when you say it)The 3-step response system: Validate → Ask → Offer PerspectiveWhy your response is only half the solution (she needs her own mental skills too)Real transformation story: How one mom went from dreading pickup to easy car rides home  I also share the story of Leah and her daughter Campbell, who went from 20 minutes of post-practice negativity to healthy, objective processing after learning mental skills through our program. 🕓 Key Moments: 00:00 Introduction 02:24 What's Really Happening 03:45 The Three-Step System 03:53 Step 1: Validate the Feeling 05:30 Step 2: Ask Don't Tell 06:50 Step 3: Offer Perspective 07:50 Mental Skills Training The Elite Mental Game teaches athletes how to catch negative thoughts before they spiral, use reset routines in real time, and assess their performance objectively instead of catastrophizing.
