Mental Training Programs For Young Athletes

What’s the Best Program for My Young Athlete?

A sports mom asks:

“I just wanted to know what the best program is for a 11 (almost 12) year old. I have a 12-year-old with confidence issues.”

We often receive emails with these types of questions.

Here at the Ultimate Sports Parent and Kids’ Sports Psychology, we offer a number of programs, all of which boost kids’ confidence, focus, and overall mental toughness in sports.

The number one reason your athletes need help with their mental game is when they under perform in games–when they can’t perform freely or with confidence in competition.

Others top reasons parents contact us include the following. When their athletes:

Lose confidence
Get frustrated easily
Play too safe in games
Worry too much about what others think
Have fear of failure
Are perfectionists
Can’t focus well in games

Here are the top solutions we have for young athletes and parents to deal with these challenges…
