Episode Highlights:  [00:00:22] The episode focuses on three key skills to build a mentally strong and confident girl athlete. [00:00:59] We dive into three skills that help athletes bounce back from mistakes, handle setbacks, and avoid spiraling after one bad play. [00:02:16] The daughter used her “snapback routine” to stay focused and persevere, proving mental training builds resilience, not weakness. [00:04:00] Skill #1: Mastering her thoughts. What she thinks and focuses on directly impacts her performance. [00:05:23] Elite athletes don’t accept every negative thought; they let unhelpful thoughts pass by like sushi on a conveyor belt. [00:08:36] Athletes can choose productive thoughts like, “This is hard, but I can do hard things,” leading to better results. [00:12:13] Skill #2: Responding to challenges, especially mistakes, with a “Snapback Routine” to recover quickly and stay in the game. [00:14:41] The Snapback Routine: A quick reset method involving a breath, a reset word, and a grounding signal (e.g., snapping fingers). [00:16:15] Skill #3: Separate who she is from what she does – praise her effort and character, not just her performance. [00:18:25] Emphasize your daughter’s positive qualities outside of sports (e.g., kindness, humor) to build her identity beyond athletics. [00:19:15] Recap. Master thought work, teach a Snapback Routine, and separate who she is from what she does. [00:19:58] Closing. Encouraging moms to support their daughters’ mental game for long-term success.
