💡 Coaches – tired of seeing your talented athletes crumble in rivalry games? Learn how to keep them confident and performing under pressure → https://coachfreetraining.com

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. Winning four state titles has its perks… and a lot of rivals now! Over 14 years of coaching high school athletes, I've learned that mental toughness wins games just as much as skill.

In this episode, I break down the 3 simple mental game hacks I use to help my team thrive in rivalry games, big games, and other high-pressure moments.

Including the importance of:
✅ Normalizing pressure games so athletes focus on what they can control
✅ Implementing a snapback routine for quick recovery from mistakes
✅ Using visualization to mentally prepare athletes for tough game scenarios
✅ Designing game-like practices that strengthen both physical and mental performance

Whether you’re preparing for rivalry matchups, playoff battles, or high-stakes competitions, these coaching strategies will help your athletes stay confident, calm, and consistent under pressure.
