Pregame Mental Preparation for Young Athletes

“Discover How Athletes Can Mentally Prepare for Competition in Just 10-Minutes”

Mental Game Coach to Pro Athletes & Award-Winning Parenting Author Share Proven Lessons for Pregame Mental Preparation.

From: Dr. Patrick Cohn and Lisa Cohn
(Authors of The Confident Sports Kid Series)

Dear Parents and Coaches,

The MOST important time for kids to be focused and confident is just before competition. However, before competition is when kids feel anxious, distracted, worried and tense about outcomes. Feeling this way can undermine athletes confidence and performance.

In addition, as sports parents and coaches, your behavior can make or break your athletes’ mindset before a competition or performance. You can make your athletes feel more anxious, worried, tense or distracted—even though you don’t mean to do this.

But you can learn to say and do the things that boost sports kids’ confidence and composure just before a game or competition. And young athletes, too, can learn to take steps that will make them feel confident, energized, and focused just before competition.

How Kids Struggle To Get Mentally Ready for Competition

Parents ask us:

“How do I support my athlete without putting more pressure on him?”

“I am more nervous than my son before games. How do I as a parent stay calm and not show I am nervous before games?”

“My challenge is not to talk too much about the upcoming games or what they need to do. I want to psych him up and encourage him but don’t want him to feel that he has to perform perfectly.”

“How do I help my kid understand that mental prep is as important or even more important than physical prep?”

“How do I keep my daughter loose in games like she is at practice? Her practices far out measure her game time skills.”

“How can I pump up my athletes and be positive without being overbearing or getting in their space? How can I help my child to play with intensity?”

Young athletes and their parents and coaches tell us that sports kids often struggle with these pregame mental game challenges:

  • They feel pressure to excel from expectations they feel from others
  • They focus too much on the outcome instead of the process
  • They fail to take charge of their confidence before the compete
  • They don’t trust in their skills when they go from practice to competition
  • They hang on to mistakes and dwell in them in competition
  • They worry too much about what others think about their performance
  • They tighten up and play safe when they feel pressure to succeed
  • They interpret pregame jitters as harmful to their performance

Here’s The Good News…
Young Athletes Can Learn The Secrets to Mental Preparation

Sports kids can now learn how to manage the expectations they feel, cope with pregame pressure, and take charge of their confidence before a game or competition–in just 10 minutes a day!

They can learn how to focus on the things that help them, rather than hurt them. They can even learn how to use pressure and pregame butterflies to improve their focus and energy. All of this is just 10-minutes before competition!

In addition, kids can learn how to trust in their training and “win ugly.” That means they let go of trying to perform perfectly and do whatever it takes to get the job done. When they do this, they can play intuitively, “get in the zone,” perform better and have more fun.

Kids Learn Practical Pregame Mental Game Strategies

Your athletes will learn practical mental game strategies to help them get mentally ready to compete, which is when their mindset is most critical…

First, your kids get 10-minute audio programs for young athletes (including cheat sheets for review), which walks them through eight simple lessons for pregame preparation in sports.

Second, parents and coaches receive 8 simple manuals for 8 practical mental game lessons to help you understand and instill each lesson. You’ll learn about how you might distract your young athletes and how this hurts their game; and how to behave and help your athletes prepare before competitions to give them the mental advantage.

Kids learn mental strategies for better pregame mental preparation to boost their mental game in competition. Young athletes discover why it is so important to have pregame mental preparation before competition. Most importantly, the program teaches them what hurts their mental game before competition and how to better prepare for game time.

We even provide specific suggestions aimed at helping you communicate to your kids in ways that enhance their pregame mental preparation. As sports parents ourselves, we understand that it’s not always easy saying the right things prior to game time!


Here’s what People Say About Our Resources

“Helped Our Daughter Tremendously”

“We just completed the first ten tips, it has helped tremendously for (our daughter) and us. We’ve learned to keep our behavior and comments in check. She’s letting mistakes happen and not worrying about them, she’s now just moves on to the next play with the same attitude as before the mistakes. She’s playing more aggressively all game. Her coach even mentioned that whatever we are doing, keep doing because it’s working.”*
~Scott, Sports Dad

“The Resources You Have Available Have Been Wonderful”

“The resources that you have available on your website have been wonderful. I am slowly learning [and hopefully] in time that a sound mental game may be more important then the actual physical part of the sport that your child plays. Yes you have to have the talent but the mental game is what sets apart as a very good athlete compared to an elite athlete. As a parent, you need to find the time to teach yourself and help your child understand the Psychology of sport. All the hard work on the ice/field could eventually pay off and not just in sport but in every day life. Thanks again.”*
~Darren, Sports Dad

“My Boys Succeeded! We Beat A Team No one Could Beat!”

“I read your report and prepared a one-page summary for my team. I asked the team to attend a 10am training session on Saturday before the final on Sunday. (I told parents) they must obtain the one-page summary handout from me and ask a parent to read it to them until they understood what it meant…My boys succeeded! We beat a team that no one could beat during the year, that was coached by a former professional player that had sons of former Professional players in the team and as a result of believing in themselves, they won. In my humble opinion , I look beyond the game and hope the kids have learned a lesson in life that you really can do almost anything if you put your mind to it. We salute you and the wonderful work you do.”*
~Anthony (Tony) Costa, coach


Here’s What You Get…

“10-Minute Pregame Prep”

10-Minute Pregame Prep” is two programs in one: (1) a manual for parents and coaches, and (2) short pregame audio lessons for young athletes.

In addition to learning how to identify what not to do before competition, young athletes learn how to mentally prepare for competition in way that help them trust their skills and excel in sports.

Parents and coaches also learn about what not to do or say to sports kids before competition and how to help them mentally prepare.

10-Minute Pregame Prep Includes Proven Mental Strategies:

The sports kids’ audio is an easy-to-understand, step-by-step audio program for young athletes, age 8 to 15. It tells kids the importance of a good pregame mental preparation, what to avoid doing before competition and what to do to mentally prepare.

Your kids learn many sport-specific examples of things kids should be concentrating on—the thoughts, feelings, cues, or images to focus their best.

The audio guides young athletes through eight short lessons that will help them boost their pregame mental preparation and success in sports. Your kids listen to the audio and then complete the exercises for each of the eight lessons.

We know some athletes don’t have the time to read a 120 page workbook. Here, your athletes only listen to one 10-minute pregame audio lesson per week–and can do this over and over until they learn the lesson.

Get The 10-Minute Pregame Prep Manual for Parents and Coaches

The program includes a training manual that teaches parents and coaches how to communicate and support their young athletes in ways that improve their pre-competition mindset. This manual coincides with the audio session that your athletes listen to before competition.

Parents learn what not to do or say before competition and develop a good pregame mental preparation routine to ensure kids experience happiness and success in sports as a result.
