After becoming a Mental Performance Coach, I had to actually apply what I learned with my own team → https://coachfreetraining.comIn Part 1, I shared how I quit volleyball due to performance anxiety and eventually became a coach who kept losing in the big moments. After those back-to-back devastating losses, I got certified as a Mental Performance Coach.But here's the thing. Learning the science was the easy part. Figuring out how to actually teach it to high school athletes without becoming a full-time sports psychologist? That took some trial and error.I'm breaking down the exact system I built: the Snapback Routine, Mindset Mondays, plug-and-play mental training that fits into 5-20 minutes per week. This is what helped us win four consecutive state championships, including a comeback from championship point against a team that hadn't won in 36 years.🧐 What You'll Learn:🔹 3-step Snapback Routine (breath, reset word, reset signal) that my athletes used under pressure🔹 How I structured mental training into our season without losing practice time🔹 Why this system makes coaching easier, not harder🔹 The real story behind our fourth state championship comeback🔹 How to build a common mental skills language with your team🔹 Why "shake it off" doesn't work and what does👋🏼 I'm Coach Bre - a mental performance coach for girl athletes, Co-Founder of The Elite Competitor, and a long-time head volleyball coach and 4-time state champion.🕓 Key Moments:00:00 Introduction: The Power of Mental Training00:34 Building The Elite Competitor01:40 Four Consecutive State Championships03:38 Championship Point: Mental Game in Action05:30 Creating The Elite Competitor Program08:36 Serving Coaches and Athletes Nationwide10:07 Making Mental Training Practical for Coaches13:46 Resources and How to Get Started💬 Coaches - comment below: What's the biggest mental challenge your team faces in high-pressure games?📌 Free Tools & Next Steps🔹 Grab our in-depth FREE training → https://coachfreetraining.com🔹 Follow us on IG → @elitecompetitorcoach🔹 Follow us on TikTok→ @coachhergame 🔔 Subscribe for More → Never miss an episode of Coach Her Game!P.S.
