Have you caught yourself using repeating strategies in an attempt to encourage your female athlete to believe in herself, only to be unsuccessful?

Today, we'll discuss "doing something new."

Stop doing the same things and expecting different outcomes, especially when it comes to our daughter's self-esteem. I'm going to share a technique with you today that will help your daughter believe in herself and recover from mistakes.

Here's an in-depth look at the system I developed after years of training female athletes.

Doing Something Different

"You're enough."
"You have the abilities."
"They chose you because you belong on this team."

Those are the things we want our daughters to remember as female athletes. We want our daughters to believe in themselves. We want them to play confidently and enjoy themselves.

These are the pleasant things we usually say when things go wrong. It might sound right, but experiencing obstacles is an important part of your daughter's athletic path. She is bound to make errors. She will feel pressure to be flawless. She is concerned about what other people are thinking. She will feel inadequate, and without the necessary mental skills to deal with these issues, your daughter might be stuck.

The majority of coaches are not taught how to teach the mental aspect of the game. As a result, we cannot rely on your daughter's coach to handle this for her.

That is why I developed a method to assist athletes with the mental side of the game. I'm going to go into detail about one aspect of the process that is critical to your daughter's self-confidence - overcoming mistakes.

The Unstoppable Athlete Method

The method I'm referring to is known as the Unstoppable Athlete Method. It consists of three elements, each of which reinforces the others. As a result, when one aspect of the approach improves and expands, the others do as well.

Part #1: Overcoming Mistakes

The first part is overcoming mistakes.

It is important to understand how your athlete reacts to adversity. How does she deal with setbacks and mistakes? Does she punish herself after making a series of errors? Is she able to overcome her flaws?

Part #2: Releasing The Pressure

The second part is releasing the pressure.

Many athletes put themselves under a lot of stress. They feel the strain of their sport, as well as the expectations of their coaches, teammates, and parents. However, some athletes add additional strain to the mix.

And if they don't already know how to deal with the first layer of pressure, they're not going to be able to deal with the strain they're putting on themselves.

Part #3: Flipping The Negative Mindset

The third part of the method is flipping the negative mindset. 

Our minds have a negative bias. Focusing on the negative is an evolutionary and biological response. But if our athletes are not aware of how their brains respond to situations and can't adjust their thinking to be more productive, they will be locked in this negative mindset.
