In this sports psychology podcast, Dr. Cohn helps parents understand a young athlete who has fragile confidence. Here is the question, Dr. Cohn answers in this episode: Sports Parent: “My son plays for a top soccer team in the state. He does great at practice, and he does amazing in other sports when he’s one of the best in the team. Right now, he is not the best on the team, and he has this fear of messing up during the game and does play less confidently. How Can I help him with this?”
