Our product, \u201cThe Confident Sports Kid,\u201d is a two-in-one product that helps parents boost their sports parenting skills and ensure kids overcome classic confidence busters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This simple-to-use program includes a manual for parents and coaches, an audio program for parents and coaches, plus a workbook and audio program prepared specifically for sports kids age 6 to 12. You can order The Confident Sports Kid via digital download by clicking on the read more button below!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this program, sports parents and coaches learn about how to better communicate with young athletes in ways that <strong>boost kids\u2019 confidence<\/strong>. For example, we tell parents how they should \u201cmentally warm up\u201d before their athletes\u2019 games and avoid committing typical sports parenting no-nos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For sports kids, we identify classic confidence busters. Most kids struggle with one or more of these challenges, which include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>High expectations (\u201cI need to make four 3-pointers and block five shots today\u201d)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Negative labels (&#8220;I&#8217;m too skinny to play football&#8221;);<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;I can&#8217;t\u201d statements (&#8220;I can&#8217;t score when I play against this team&#8221;).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Goofy beliefs (&#8220;I only score if I eat granola bars for breakfast or wear a red headband&#8221;).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Doubt (Can I really make that shot?)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Worries about what everyone thinks (&#8220;Coach is going to bench me if I make a mistake.
