College coaches are watching more than highlight reels. I'm breaking down the 5 mental skills that actually determine who gets an offer → coachfreetraining.com

In this episode, I'm sharing exactly what a college coach told me she's looking for when she watches recruits play.

It has nothing to do with stats. It has everything to do with how your athlete responds when things go sideways.

👋🏼 I'm Coach Bre, a 4-time state champion volleyball coach and Certified Mental Performance Coach. I've spent 14+ years coaching girl athletes and built The Elite Competitor to give coaches proven, plug-and-play mental training systems that actually work.

Here's what I cover:
✅ Why body language under pressure matters more than you think
✅ How athletes treat teammates and parents during competition
✅ The one thing most recruited athletes have that talented athletes don't
✅ Why "shake it off" leaves athletes with zero tools for the moments that matter
✅ The simple reset system that college coaches can actually see and evaluate

These aren't personality traits. They're trainable skills. And your athlete can start building them right now.

⚡️ Mental skills are among the top factors coaches cite in recruiting decisions, alongside physical skills and coachability. (Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology, 2019)
⚡️ Athletes who use pre-performance routines show significantly lower anxiety and higher confidence in competition. (Cotterill, S.T., International Review of Sport and Exercise Psychology, 2010)
⚡️ Girls drop out of sports at 6x the rate of boys between ages 14-18, with confidence and pressure cited as leading factors. (Women's Sports Foundation, Going for the Gold Report, 2020)
