👋🏼 I'm Coach Bre, a mental performance coach for girl athletes, Co-Founder of The Elite Competitor, and a long-time head volleyball coach and 4-time state champion.

Every coach is diligent about the physical game. Fewer have an actual plan for the mental one, and that gap is what decides tight matches.

What You'll Learn:
✅ How to run a Pressure Point drill that forces your team to finish tight games
✅ How a Chaos drill builds composure when the game stops going the way it's supposed to
✅ How the Wash drill stacks pressure by requiring two wins in a row for one big point
✅ Why none of these drills work without pairing them to a trained mental skill
✅ The real story behind a state championship comeback that came down to one breath and a reset word

💬 Coaches — comment below: what's the toughest pressure moment your team has faced this season?

P.S. A few stats worth knowing:
👉A meta-analysis of 14 studies found pressure training (practicing under simulated pressure) produced a medium-sized improvement in performance under pressure (Low et al., Sport, Exercise, and Performance Psychology, 2021)
👉Junior athletes who completed self-talk training showed reduced competitive anxiety and higher self-confidence compared to a control group (Walter, Nikoleizig, & Alfermann, Sports, 2019)
👉Varsity athletes trained in diaphragmatic breathing showed lower heart rate and higher heart rate variability under a stress task (Hunt, Rushton, Shenberger, & Murayama, Journal of Clinical Sport Psychology, 2018)

The Coach Her Game YouTube channel is hosted by The Elite Competitor and is dedicated to helping coaches of girl athletes strengthen their mental game and team culture in order to develop a competitive edge.
