“Discover Secrets To Help Sports Kids Let Go of Mistakes And Cope with Frustration —
In Less Than 15 Minutes a Day!
Top Sports Psychology Coach Shares Personal Coaching Secrets…
From: Dr. Patrick Cohn
(Author of The Confident Athlete Series)
Dear Parents and Coaches:
Do you feel sick and tired of or even embarrassed about your athletes’ tantrums, crying, and lack of emotional control in competition? Do you scratch your head and wonder why your kids shut down or act like The Incredible Hulk after they make just one mistake that no one notices?
I’m a sports parent and past coach. I feel for the players and coaches who have shared their personal stories–and who identify with my online videos and blog posts–about kids who lose control in competition.
I know the problems of poor emotional control firsthand as a parent:
- It’s frustrating when you don’t understand why your kids get so upset or frustrated playing a game they love.
- It’s hard to watch when your athletes destroy all their hard work and preparation and tank it or give up.
- It’s embarrassing to sit and witness public outbursts when kids unravel after mistakes.
- It’s difficult not knowing how to react to your athletes’ irrational behaviors.
- It’s tough when you don’t know what to do to get your kids beyond their frustration, anger, or temper tantrums. You feel helpless, I know!
My sports kid, like many of yours, had lots going for her… She had great physical talent, superior form for her age, good coaching, and top-notch potential. But all her hard work and potential in sports was flushed down the toilet when she acted out in competition as a 10-year-old.
At times, I wanted to pull the hair out of my head in exacerbation when I watched her outbursts in competition…
Imagine if you could teach your sports kids proven mental toughness lessons in composure, self-acceptance, and how to be their own best friends. How would that change the game for you and your athletes?
And imagine if the lessons they learn through sports could be transferred to your kids’ lives and enrich their chosen careers.
Parents Are Fed Up with “Self-Destructive” Behaviors
My Soccer Player Can’t Accept Mistakes
“We have had a soccer season of turmoil and much distress. We have a gifted student and athlete who has major fear of failure, a perfectionist, addicted to praise, and is uncomfortable with mistakes.”
My son is a perfectionist and can’t control his emotions when things don’t go as expected
“My 11 year old son is very much a perfectionist when it comes to sports and he will not let himself make a mistake without getting upset. If he hits a bad shot in golf, he will cry. If he strikes out in baseball, he will cry. He cannot control his emotions when things do not go well or the way he expects them to go.”*
My skater gets frustrated when learning something new
“My 10 year old daughter is a figure skater who has had a hard time controlling her emotions ever since she started skating at 4 years old. When she is learning something new, she gets frustrated because she can’t do it well at first and starts crying. But it drives everyone crazy along the way, including herself.”*
We’ve tried everything to help my son, but nothing has worked
“My son is 9. He has always been the kid that gets mad when he makes a mistake. We have tried everything to help him get himself under control. Positive enforcement, sitting out of the game, punishment, ignoring it, running, bribery, threats but nothing has worked. I wonder if he is not able to control himself, if he should even continue to play sports.”*
My volleyball player shuts down and cries. It’s breaking my heart and ruining sports for her
“My 10 year old daughter is a great volleyball player but has somehow “lost” her serve. It’s now become a vicious cycle – The more she tries, the worse she does, the more upset she gets. The more her coach and I try to reassure her or instruct her, the more upset she gets and she just shuts down, crying and sulking. It’s breaking my heart that this is ruining this sport for her.”*
My basketball player beats himself up and wants to quit
“My 14 year old son plays basketball. He is very talented, has high expectations, and if he misses shots or if he is substituted by the coach, he immediately looks at it as failure… So he beats himself up and loses confidence in himself and gets the ‘wanting to quit’ type of attitude.”*
My son’s crying drives the coaches and us parents crazy!
“I have a 10 year old son who has been playing competitive baseball for 3 years. Your model of emotional control describes him to a tee. He is very good at sports and picks them up quickly, but he is never good enough in his eyes. He can’t handle any sort of failure. His crying when he doesn’t perform to his unrealistic standards drives the coaches and us parents crazy! We have tried everything.”*
Obviously, parents and coaches are frustrated, bewildered, and going crazy with kids who shut down and throw tantrums for no good reason. Parents and coaches have shared many more stories with us. You can read more on the Ultimate Sports Parent Blog.
It’s Not Your Fault…. You’ve Probably Been Given Bad Advice
Many educators think that punishing negative behaviors, such as tantrums, crying, emotional outbursts, giving up, and sulking, is the solution for improving young athletes’ behavior.
But I have a different take on this… Athletes, coaches and parents who hold onto beliefs or myths about emotional control stay stuck in old patterns of behavior. To address kids’ negative behaviors, you must work with their beliefs and expectations about their sport.
Lack of Emotional Control is an Epidemic in Young Athletes Today!
The emotional roller coaster has to stop for young athletes… Over 43% of the parents we surveyed said their athletes struggle with letting go of errors and staying calm. Helping athletes attain emotional control and cop with errors are by far the toughest challenge for coaches and parents today.
Maybe this trend is a reflection of society or maybe sports is turning out more perfectionists who can’t cope with imperfection. Whatever the reason, I’m here to help you with my program designed to solve this dilemma…

What Are Readers and Students Saying?
“Improvement in his Enjoyment of the Sport”
Thank you for the Composed Sports Kid online series you have put together. After going through your weekly course mid-season, we did see marked improvement in his enjoyment of the sport. I also wanted to tell you how helpful the course was for me being a parent and being completely lost on how to help a highly competitive, sensitive, and emotional kid. The mini goals altered his focus and helped him to be more emotionally level and he will continue to use them going forward.
~ Ralph Fleck, Sports Parent
“He Has Really Benefited From The Program”
“I recently purchased The Composed Sports Kid CD program for my son Jonathan who is 10. He is a skilled soccer player that was having issues with loss of control on occasion during games. He has really benefited from the program. He carries himself much better these days and even talks about his composure after the game to me before talking about the goals that he scores.”*
~Dave, Sports Parent
“Treasure Trove of Practical, Insightful Information”
“The Ultimate Sports Parent is quite a find. It’s a treasure trove of practical, insightful information presented in an organized, simple format that is so easy to use. It is exactly what I was looking for to help my daughter succeed in competition, as much as she succeeds during practice. Additionally, these concepts can be applied to all areas of her life and, as her parent, I can’t stress enough how important it is to me, that she develop confidence, and how valuable this resource is to that end.

~ Debbie and Peter Cooney
“Your Email Tips Helped a HS Student”
“I use your tips to help a sophomore high school student athlete. Last night, after I gave him some of your email tips – relax, get in the flow of the game, have fun, play by instinct, etc. – He busted loose for a career high 20 points and 15 rebounds!”*
~ Bob Heidkamp
“Saved Us a Lot of Unnecessary Worry”
“I must say that each tip from you is helping untangle little by little a bit of a fix that my 10-year-old daughter’s badminton had got into. Wow ! the number of mistakes we have made as sports parents. I do wish I had visited your site, before she started a competitive level last year. Would have saved us a lot of unnecessary worry.”*
~ Lopamudra
