We all know this but knowing this and really thinking about it and applying it are so far off when it comes to sports

First the definition of the word "sports coach"

A sports coach is a person whose job is to teach, train, and organize an individual or team to improve their skills and performance in a particular sport. They provide instruction on rules and tactics, motivate players, foster team spirit, ensure safety during training, and help athletes achieve their full potential.

MOTIVATE PLAYERS
FOSTER TEAM SPIRIT
HELP ATHLETES ACHIEVER THEIR FULL POTENTIAL.

These kids, student athletes or whichever word you prefer to use are young. Their brains are still developing along with their bodies. There are some things that we as coaches (and I include me because when I coached hockey looking back I failed at this as well) must realize.

Again, if you read this and tell yourself you don't do this most likely you do. Because it is HARD to find coaches that don't do this. You may not even realize it.

As coaches we must remember that these are the most instrumental times in their lives. We are part of the overall picture of molding them in to adults. We MUST remember this. The events and situations they encounter while school age will be in their brains forever. And almost certainly they will be done with that sport at any level by the age of 23. As coaches we must be able to see the forest through the trees. What we do, what we say and how we act towards our players affects them. What other teammates do will also affect them. Kids will be kids and no one is perfect but everyone can do better.

Communication and positivity are so very important. Yes it's ok to push them. Yes they need discipline and consequences. No on should argue that. But that's not what I talk about with what I am seeing working with athletes with QNRT.

I will try to explain this as well as I can. There are some things that are important here. Again this is a culmination of reflecting back on when I coached and with athletes I have worked with.
First of all even a little bit of caring can go a long way. Often times coaches don't realize. If you say that's not you then please read through this and make sure of it based on what I have seen.

These athletes want to be seen, appreciated, accepted and have fun MORE THAN ANYTHING. Of course they want to win, and who doesn't. But take any kid on a winning team that didn't really get a chance to contribute and I can almost guarantee that somewhere in their subconscious brain is a negative emotional pattern that can affect them for years. I know we can't please everyone and make everyone happy. If there are 9 players on the field and 16 players on the team then some aren't going to be happy. It's hard to avoid that in that situation. But take that a step further. How many of those 10 - 16 players are getting just a few personal words regularly from the coaches. When I say personal I mean one on one not to the entire team. That doesn't count. Things like "we appreciate you being here, keep up the hard work." Or just regularly telling them what they can work on to improve their chances. Instead what coaches do is brush them off because they are disposable. While really damaging their brains at the same time.

Tryouts can be damaging to their brains. Yes some will get cut, that happens. But what should happen is honesty and clarity from day one. An example I have heard several times is a team having a "tryout" and really just needing one player. It's simple, be clear from the beginning. "this tryout is for just one player. We are really just looking for a utility player" Then DEFINE what you mean by utility player. Let the potential players coming to your tryout know EXACTLY what you are looking for. By doing that don't set some of them up for a let down in what would have been an impossible situation for them. I have heard "we are open to all positions." But think about that. Are you really open for that? If you already have 2 players that you like at first base then are you really open to another one? And if so what message are you sending to your current 2 that play at first? Now once you get to the very elite level I know this changes. But hardly anyone reading this will fit into that category. And even then I have hard stories where those coaches need to read this as well.

Also when holding a tryout if you do cut anyone or if they choose to not play think about taking a few minutes to communicate with them. Simply "this is why you weren't picked" or "is there a reason you chose to not play." It should be about them and not you!! Too often ADULTS are more worried about their ego's than they are about making sure that the athlete comes out of the situation with reasoning. They don't have to like it, but they deserve some respect. Be an ADULT about it. Trust me, unfortunately I know this from making that mistake when I coached.

Remember, we must consider how it will affect all of them. Winning at what cost? It's great to win, I get it. But you know what's even better. Making sure they all have great experiences to learn how to work hard, grow, be positive and contribute and be mentally healthy as adults. These things both can and should happen on winning teams too. It's a competition and I am not a fan of the "participation" trophy mentality. It's a fine line and I get it. People can agree or disagree. But these are the things I am seeing that contribute to imbalanced brains.

If a coach really wants to coach and do it for the kids then do it for the kids.

I could say a lot more on this. Maybe a need to write a book about it. Because the issues with what I wrote above are a lot worse off than most people think.

Very shortly after I started in practice at the end of 1997 I kept seeing patients that would "try everything" and not get better. What I soon discovered is that almost all of the patients had a deeper issue. It wasn't just a black or white issue that could easily be fixed. There ended up being some type of trauma that was holding them back from healing. Sometimes it was physical trauma, sometimes emotional, sometimes it was an infection that wasn't going away. It would even just be changes inside their own body. As I started exploring this more and talking to more patients I found this link. Often times we get so focused on that one thing that we don't realize it could be many things. My journey started back then and still continues. But now my care is focused on this big picture. It can be multi layered and it can take time for the body to heal. It can be frustrating to go through the process. But you know what's more frustrating? Living with pain, depression, anxiety, low energy or many other symptoms and not realizing there is even a chance to improve. This is what my care is all about.

Just in the past few weeks I have seen patients that were just not healing because of things like mold, infections from tic bytes, anxiety that they can't get under control. The brain and the body are amazing. Once we get to the root cause and help the body heal the changes can be powerful. If we can heal the brain we can heal the body. That's why when you walk into my office on the big wall in the waiting room you will see a picture of a brain and the phrase above it "YOUR BRAIN CONTROLS...EVERYTHING!"

If this resonates with you. If this is something you would like to learn more about please feel free to reach out. Call, text or email. I will also be scheduling our next free workshop (most likely announced later today, 9/16/25) to discuss all of this.

Stress is higher than ever. Anxiety is worse than ever. But I am here to tell you whether you ever walk into my office there is hope. Don't stop. Don't give up even when you feel like that's the only option. Stay strong.

WE DON'T GET TO DECIDE WHAT IS OR ISN'T STRESSFUL TO THEIR BRAIN.

Quantum Neuro Reset Therapy insight when I work with athletes. I have had the pleasure to work with several high level softball pitchers including former and future NCAA D1 pitchers.

This is very important to understand in the journey. If someone is lucky enough to play in college they will play until about age 23 at the latest. Hopefully they have many more decades on this planet after their playing days are over.

Our brains are designed to handle short term stress not long term stress. In that journey as an athlete these still young brains endure A LOT of stress. From day 1 when I have worked with these pitchers I tell their parents the facts and the truth. The truth is even though they may be worried about performing better on the mound and I am here to try to help with that. I am even more worried about their brains for the time after they play. Often times, coaches, parents, their peers and even they themselves put way too much pressure on themselves. This builds up negatively in their brain.

Life is tough. Adding high pressure situations becomes more tough. I have already seen some young ladies that have had more pressure than they need. They end up taking a break or stepping away later than they really could have.

Taking breaks are ok. Making decisions are ok. Tell your pitcher, or your athlete, or your musician, or your gamer. It is ok to speak up. It is ok to make a decision. What matters is their brain. Mentally, neurologically, physically. Your brain controls everything. You only get one of them. Life is a journey and it can be tough.

Too often I hear adults give advice to others that they don't follow themselves. What we want, what their coaches want and what people around them want may not be what they want. As adults our job is to listen. LISTEN to our kids. Each one of them is delicate. We all are. Don't confuse the term tough with delicate because they are not the same.

Here is a big takeaway. If they aren't having fun then it doesn't matter. Yes there are hurdles and struggles. Yes hey need to give it their all. But when they develop anxiety, or depression or their body starts breaking down at 16 or 17 this is a huge problem. And in today's world with athletes. All of those are a huge problem.

I have just seen this too often lately and it's really sad every time I see in issue with a teenager already.

Yes we need to guide them. Yes we need to challenge them. Yes we need to make them responsible. But most importantly we need to understand that what they want and what we want may be different. At school, at sports at any activities if they give a sign that something is off we need to listen to them.

When I see one of these pitchers in a QNRT session they may have had some past event or stress that has really affected them. But their parents, their coach, their family may think it is silly or that it isn't that big of a deal. Here is my reply to that and this is really important. WE DON'T GET TO DECIDE WHAT IS OR ISN'T STRESSFUL TO THEIR BRAIN. Please please PLEASE read that over and over again until it sinks in.

I am so thankful that I have found QNRT to utilize in my practice. It is a way to help once our brains are carrying this in the subconscious part of the brain. Once it happens I am confident I can help.

How past emotional traumas can lead to physical pain and what can be done to help.

Did you know that the biggest road block I have seen in improving health has been negative thoughts or emotions?

05/09/2025

I am seeing more and more patients with autoimmune conditions. When I look at the combination of mental/ emotional trauma, physical trauma and imbalances in the brain combined with any hidden infections in the body that are throwing off the immune system there can be a tremendous change seen. It took me just a few years in practice to really see this disconnect. It took me 20 years of searching to finally find a great combination for the solution. More and more people are suffering from chronic issues. It's not just in your head and you are not alone. The only time someone fails is when they give up. Please don't give up.

We offer highly discounted cash pricing for lab testing. Often times when we look at these labs from a functional medicine perspective it gives our patients a different look at their lab work and in many cases helps to explain some of their symptoms. We then will design a natural support protocol as well as utilizing our unique Quantum Neuro Reset Therapy autoimmune protocol.

Did you know that Dr. Fry is one of only approximately 60 practitioners in the world that is certified in the advanced QNRT autoimmune protocol?

Over the past few years more and more young people are suffering from Anxiety. I have found that with QNRT if we can help balance the brain and anxiety can decrease.

This is one of our young patients sharing how she has been helped with QNRT.
