Happy holidays! ❄️🎉

No matter what you celebrate — or if you’re simply enjoying some well-deserved time off — use this time to rest, recharge, and reflect on your wins, big and small.

Remember: growth doesn’t stop when the season pauses. 💪✨

Pressure, mistakes, nerves, and self-doubt are part of being a student-athlete — not signs that something is wrong ‼️

Mental performance isn’t about forcing confidence or staying positive all the time. It’s about learning how to respond when your inner dialogue gets loud 🧠🗯️

Training your mindset helps you stay present 🕒, reset after mistakes 🔄, and compete with more clarity under pressure 🏆 — in sports, school, and everyday life 📚⚡

Save this for practice, game day, or moments when your mind starts working against you!

PARENTS!

Are you struggling to find the right things to say to your injured athlete?🩼🤕

You just want to take their pain away and make everything okay, we totally get that.❤️‍🩹

Our first instinct is to assure them “everything is going to be just fine”

But that well-meaning statement may not be landing with your athlete.

Check out this quick guide to supporting your athlete in their injury recovery and taking your conversations to the Next Level.

Hey Sports Parents! 👋🏻

Do you and your athlete dread the car ride home after games? 🚗💨

This can be a make it or break it time for so many athletes and their families.

Here’s 5️⃣ tips for taking your car ride home to the next level:

1️⃣ Let your athlete set the tone.

If they’re flying high after a game, don’t kill the vibe with critique or criticism. If they’re not very talkative today, offer a word of support and turn on their favorite song instead.

2️⃣ Model the behavior you want to see.

Your athlete learns a lot from watching you navigate conflict. Be mindful of how you talk about coaches, officials, other players, so on and so forth. Set the standard for how you want your athletes to to act after good games and bad games.

3️⃣ Effort. Success. Progress.

Use a reflection prompt like Effort-Success-Progress to help guide conversation. Reflect on what went well for your athlete, something they showed effort in, and then explore areas of growth or progress. Avoid harping on the negatives without productive action steps. Keep the reflection consistent regardless of the intensity or outcome of performance.

4️⃣ Set a timer, switch it off

If you have an athlete who over thinks and over analyzes, consider setting a timer for post game reflection. If you know they’re going to replay every mistake over and over again consider capping the reflection time to 10 minutes and allowing them to “switch off” athlete brain

5️⃣ Remind them you care regardless of how they perform on the field.

So many young athletes put insurmountable pressure on themselves to avoid letting people down. Remind them that their value is not tied to their performance.

This one question can shift your whole performance 👇🏼

WIN - What’s Important Now?

If you want to level up as an athlete, start mastering the skill of focusing on the present moment ⌛️

Elite athletes don’t try to do everything — instead, they prioritize what moves them forward 🚀

WIN helps you:
🔒 stay locked in under pressure
🔀 bounce back after mistakes
👊 control the controllables
🎯 improve focus, confidence, & consistency

Ask yourself throughout training, competition, & in everyday life:

What’s important now?

Holiday break is approaching fast, & although it’s something many look forward to, it can feel weird for student athletes - slower routines, different schedules, more emotions, & less structure…

Here’s your reminder that rest, food, joy, & connection all support mental performance too ❄️✨

You don’t have to train perfectly to stay an athlete. You don’t have to “earn” holiday meals. & you’re not falling behind if this season feels lighter or slower. Break is part of the process.

Save this reminder & share it with a teammate who might need it too 🤍

OUR YEAR WRAPPED!

2025 has truly been NEXT LEVEL.

We rolled out our new look, went to new places, and met new faces.

We can’t wait to see what 2026 has in store for us and for our performers!

That voice inside of your head will tell you a lot of things.

“I’m not good enough”
“I don’t deserve this”
“I’m letting everyone down”

It is so important that you do NOT listen to that voice.

If you’ve been dealing with questioning or self doubt, we’re here to help you reconnect with the love of the game.

Gratitude isn’t just something you feel — it’s a mental performance tool.

Today, we encourage you to practice gratitude in a few simple ways:

💭 Take a minute to slow down & reflect on what you’re grateful for. Noticing what’s going well boosts confidence, lowers stress, & helps you stay focused throughout your season.

🙏 Thank your body for the work it puts in, even on the tough days. Appreciate the progress you’ve made, the effort you’ve shown, & the small wins that have stacked up over time.

🫂 Remember the people who support you — teammates, coaches, family, & friends who show up for you on & off the field.

😌 Let today be a chance to rest & refuel without guilt. Enjoy your meals without stress & know that food isn’t “good” or “bad” — it’s fuel, connection, & joy. Stressing about food can do more harm than any food itself.

Before the day ends, check in with yourself. Gratitude + small wins = a stronger mindset for the rest of your season 🧠💪

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃

Feeling mentally burnt out as an athlete? 🫩

You’re not alone! High school & college athletes face intense pressure – on the field, in the classroom, & in everyday life.

These 6 actionable tips can help you protect your mental health, boost confidence, & get back in your competitive flow 🔥

🛏️🥙 Prioritize recovery: Aim for 7–9 hours of sleep, prioritize rest days, & fuel consistently with balanced meals. Small changes = big performance gains – your body can’t perform if it can’t recharge.

🧠🚧 Build mental boundaries: Practice pre-performance routines, limit comparison, & use grounding or breathing strategies to regulate your mind before games/practices.

💛💡Reconnect with your “why”: Reflect on what made you love your sport & what your long-term goals are. Set 1–2 short-term goals that reignite purpose & create a sense of momentum, or modify existing goals as needed. Shift your focus back to progress, not perfection.

🤝🗣️ Seek support: Talk to a coach, trainer, mental performance coach, therapist, parent, or a trusted teammate. Community helps athletes stay grounded & confident.

🎯🌬️Focus training: Use time-blocking for school, life, & sport demands. Incorporate short mindfulness sessions, visualization, or focus drills to strengthen mental clarity.

Burnout doesn’t mean you’re weak. It means you’re human.

Start small, reset intentionally, & reclaim your power so you can train, compete, & recover at your best 💪🏆

Save this to come back to the next time your mind feels overloaded – your future self will thank you 🙏
