How to Help Self-Critical Athletes

This sports psychology video is about helping athletes who are hard on themselves. We also call this being self-critical. These athletes do not take constructive criticism well from a coach either. We helps sports parents learn how to improve athletes’ mental approach to sports and have more fun.

Peak Performance Sports, LLC helps athletes improve mental skills for success in sports. We work with athletes in all sports – junior to professional – via video mental coaching from anywhere in the world.
