Welcome to the raising and elite competitor podcast. My name is coach Bri. I made mental performance coach for a girl athletes, and I'm so happy you're here. Whether you are just getting, going on your sports journey with your daughter, or maybe you have a lot of seasons under your belt. This podcast is for you to help you know, how to help your daughter build confidence, mental strength, and enjoy her sports journey. And also so that you can enjoy the journey along the way as well. You may or may not have noticed that this podcast is now called something different. We are unveiling a new phase of the elite competitor. And I'm about to go into all of the changes that you maybe have already noticed as we are really stepping into a new phase of our company, which means a lot of amazing things for you. And one of those changes is the name of our podcast. I'll go into, why are we are changing the name of the podcast to the raising and elite competitor podcasts. But before we do, I first want to give a shout out to a mom in our community. So Darcy is a mom inside our mental game program and her athlete daughter, Whitney is a figure skater. And she said this recently in our group, she said, Whitney competed this week. She won the free skate with a personal best, which is awesome. She did the first unit of our mental game program and left her notebook open on my desk with the page on support. Support showing. I knew how to support her and celebrate her success. Thank you. I feel prepared for her to compete so awesome job, both Darcy and Whitney. First of all, we need for. Being honest and open and, you know, sharing with your mom, how you like to be supported and Darcy to you too. Awesome job, taking that feedback and internalizing it and turning it into something that can really be positive for you and your daughter. So awesome job and way to implement what you're learning inside the program. All right, let's talk a little bit about this new phase. That we are embarking on. And the elite competitor, we are getting even more clear on our values, our mission, who we can serve and how we can best serve them. We founded our company in 2018. And since then, our mission has stayed the same. Our mission is to support sports moms and raising a generation of confident girls by equipping girl athletes, with the mental strength. To both play their sport to the best of their ability and take the lessons they learn into their sport and into the real world. Now the way that we convey that is always evolving. And we're trying always to get clear and clear with how we are going to communicate our mission, our values, what we stand for and who we serve. Really the only competitor is about being impactful, being professional, motivating, fearless, and intuitive. And we always want to be. Representing that so that you know exactly who we are and you know exactly what you're going to get. When you interact with our company, our coaches, our trainings, our podcasts. Our social media, everything that you touch in our world, we want you to know exactly what that means for you. So we're changing things up. Let's talk first about the obvious changes that you may have already seen. We do have new colors, new branding, new logos. And new photos around our social media accounts, our website, and anything that you've interacted with inside our world. So all of these things will change the look and feel of the elite competitor while maintaining these messages that we want to shout loud and clear. We hope that we're communicating them through our new branding. And that is, we want to infuse play back into sports. Your daughter started playing sports from the beginning because they were fun because she found enjoyment from them. Sometimes I get lost along the way. And we know that research says that the longer your athlete enjoys her sport and enjoys what she's doing, the longer she's going to stay in it. We also know that 70% of athletes drop out of their sport by the age of 13. We know the positive benefits of being in sports of learning confidence, mental strength, all of these things through your daughter's athletic experience. But if she is dropping out because she's not having fun and because she doesn't know how to navigate the normal parts of being an athlete, then she can not reap those benefits. So we want to make sure that we are infusing the play back into playing sports. We also want to clearly communicate the importance of training your mind and the importance of your athlete, training her mind. Through her athletic journey, there will be things that she will encounter as an athlete. That are very, very normal, but not all athletes know how to handle them. We're talking about fear of failure, pressure, mistakes, all of these things that all athletes face, but most athletes actually don't know how to navigate with confidence. We also want to communicate that we are here to give moms the tools that they need. That is why our approach to mental training and our method is so different than anything else that you are going to find in this space. We train the parent in all of this because we know that your role greatly impacts your athlete and her experience. So we give you the exact tools that you need. That are research based so that you can raise a confident, strong athlete. And lastly, we're on your team. We are in this together. We are walking by you and walking by your athlete side by side to create this experience for her. That is not just for the game that she's playing tomorrow or this week, but also the long game for her life and for the things that she's going to encounter as a person. So, as you kind of look around at the new look and feel of the elite competitor. That is what we are. Conveying, and we hope that that is loud and clear for you. All right, let's move on to what else you're going to see. That's new that we're really excited about. Now. One thing is that we have a series of brand new live trainings that are happening. The last week of September 1st week of October. So to kind of kick off this whole new phase of the elite competitor, we decided to unveil and roll out some new trainings for moms. And these are live trainings. That have all sorts of the live magic that goes along with them. So I will be there with you and we are going to be giving away some bonuses. We're going to be doing some raffles. We just have a lot of. Fun things planned for these live trainings and registration is actually open now. Retrusion opens today, September 5th. So if you're listening to this episode on the day that it dropped, then you can go ahead and head to train her game.com to register for one of those four live trainings that we will be doing, last week of September, first week of October. And this training is all about how to strengthen your athlete, daughter's confidence. So she believes in herself as much as you do. So we hear over and over from moms that. The one thing that there. Athlete daughter is lacking is confidence. And whether that shows up in, you know, hesitating or not taking risks, which is also a form of hesitating, or just not showing up as that confident person on the court or the field or the pitch or the pool that, you know, she can be, or maybe she doesn't really want to practice. But not in a game or maybe her coaches even said something about, you know, you have the physical skills, but you just need to work on your mental game and your confidence. So this training will help you know exactly how to support her and exactly how to give her the tools, to know how to show up confidently in her sport and in life. So make sure you register it. That's at train her game.com. Another update that you're going to see is to our signature mental training program. So we're actually shifting the name of that program from the elite competitor program to the elite mental game. So this is our program that builds mental strength in athletes, and also is the one that teaches sports moms and sports parents, how to best support their athlete daughter through the athletic experience. So this is our proven science backed mental training program for athletes. And we have shifted how we do things in the program. A little bit based on feedback, based on survey results of the over 2000 families who have gone through our program already, which really blows my mind that that many. Families have been personally impacted by the power of this program. But we are always making it better. And as a result of that, we have gathered all the feedback from those thousands of families. Who've gone through to make some really significant upgrades to this program. So, one of the first ones is that. The elite mental game program will literally be a game. So we have gamified our program, meaning that when your athlete interacts with the program, she goes through, she is playing a game. She's getting points for the trainings that she's completing. She's getting points for different activities that she is doing regarding visualization breathwork and her daily mindset routine. All of these things. She is getting points as she goes through the program, unlocking prizes and bonuses as she goes through. So it's highly incentivized and also very motivating for athletes to work through the program. And the other thing that's really cool about, the program that we are adding in is a five day challenge. So when you joined the program, when your athlete joins the program, You both kick off with a five day challenge, that's similar, but different all around how to support your athletes coming back from mistakes. This is the number one thing that we hear from our community is that my daughter has a hard time coming back from mistakes. So within the first five days that she is inside the elite mental game program, she is going to learn a proven tool to come back from mistakes. So very quick, when she will finish that week off with a very tangible tool and she can start implementing it right away. And then you also know exactly how to support her through your five day challenge. All around how to help her come back from mistakes. And so we're really excited about that as well. The other big thing that we are doing as we roll out this new, and upgraded version of our mental training program is that we're actually going to start a live cohort of athletes. And we have not done this for a while. If you've been around. The elite competitor for awhile, we used to do this. We used to have athletes join, and then we would all kick off on a certain day and we would go through the program together. So everything would be in alignment with, you know, the calls that we're doing together and all the live support as well. And we haven't done that for about a year and a half. So we are bringing that back for this fall cohort. So when your athlete joins the program during our fall enrollment period, which is September 26th through October 6th, she will be starting the program and kicking it off with a whole cohort of athletes. So we are going to do a live kickoff call together for all of those athletes that joined during our fall enrollment special. So that we can really kick off the program on a very high note and she just feels equipped, engaged, excited. Like I said, there's a lot of energy that comes with doing the program like this and doing a live cohort together. So we're super excited about that. Okay. Two more things that are new that you're going to see. So we also have a brand new ambassador program. So I'm talking now to moms who have completed our signature program before this is your chance, your chance to share your story, share the. Opportunity with your friends and be paid. All right. So I want you to think of this, like a little side gig to share what you already love. You probably already are sharing about our mental game program with your other friends, with other sports moms, with other athletes. And now you can do that and get paid for it to help cover some of those sports expenses or just to have a little money to do whatever you want with. So I'm going to leave a link in the show notes for our brand new ambassador program. So. If you are a mom who has completed our mental game program in the past, and now you want to share your story and get paid for it. Go ahead and go to that link. All right. The last thing that we have that we're pretty excited about is we've got some new merchandise. So we actually have never had merchandise before. We're going to be including some merchandise with our new branding on it that you can purchase from our website. And so we can't wait for that. So we're talking sweatshirts, water bottles, shirts, things like that. Athletic gear. So really excited that you are going to be able to sport in rock our elite competitor gear. Now, one last thing I'll mention is that as far as content is concerned, we're still going to be pumping out to be amazing content as we have been before. But we're also going to include some content on our Instagram and in our podcasts that you can be sharing with your daughter. So you'd be looking out for those on our Instagram page, podcast episodes that are specific to your daughter so that you can be sharing, bits and pieces with her. And so that she can. Can benefit from increasing her mental strength and confidence in her sport. One last thing I mentioned, I almost forgot about this is the name change of our podcast. So we have changed our podcasts. From the raising unstoppable girl ethics podcast to the raising an elite competitor podcast. And that is just to the alignment with our branding to be more recognizable as the elite competitors. So it's easier to find us. And also our mission is to equip you with skills, to raise an elite competitor for us, that means. An elite competitor who is confident, who trusts herself and has the mental skills needed to navigate her sport with confidence. All right, moms. I hope that you are as excited about this new phase of elite competitor as we are. We have been in iterations of this since February of 2023. So we are just really excited for everyone else to experience what we have been working through over the past several months to really get clear on our mission, our values. And who we're serving and why we do what we do. So make sure to register for one of our free live trainings, where you will get to experience all of that, as well as hear about the new changes that we have to our signature mental training program As well as the opportunity for your daughter to join during our fall enrollment special so that she can kick off the program with our cohort of athletes that have been joining. This fall. All right. Moms, I'm coach Bree, and I will see you in the next episode of the raising and of the competitor podcast.
