We're taking you back to 2023 with a parent workshop on: The Power of Routines and Accountability. I dive into the importance of building consistent habits that emphasize self-reflection and ownership to create resilient competitors who can bounce back from mistakes.

Episode Highlights:

• Mental skills work best when treated consistently, regardless of performance
• Over-praising after poor performances creates disconnection
• Nagging and bribing create external pressure rather than internal motivation
• What went well? What could be better? How to change for next time?
• Athletes typically gravitate to just 1-2 mental skills that work best for them
