Sometimes athletes don’t need someone to speak for them. They need someone to teach them how to advocate for themselves.

The conversation may be uncomfortable, but learning how to have it is invaluable.

Coaches, athletic directors, and parents: Are you giving athletes the tools and confidence to speak up for themselves?

Start the conversation. Teach the skill. Empower the athletes.

In 2016, Harvard researchers asked 400 people in anxiety spirals one question.

This one question stopped 83% of panic loops in under 90 seconds: “What do I know for certain right now?”

Anxiety thrives in imagined futures.

Your brain reacts the same way to “what if I fail” as it does to danger

Facts = safety

That is why navy seals use this method before a mission.

Operators who used this question showed lower cortisol and faster decision-making than those who tried to “calm down” or “think positive”

But how does this apply to baseball⚾️?

Before an important at-bat, the final inning, a big game, athletes naturally think:
What if I screw up? What if I ground out? What if I let everyone down?

Revert the questions, “what do I know for certain right now?:”
1. I know I have earned being in this position.
2. I know I have trained for this.
3. I know I’m here, breathing, ready.

The fear never goes away, But it doesn’t control your thoughts.

Most players try affirmation and forcing calmness.

The ones who perform under pressure use facts.

Save this. Your next ball game might need it.

Here are some tips to improve your team’s body language:

1st culture opportunity - Have your players create their own personalized failure recovery plan on notecards ✍️
(or snap back plan). You could even get them rubber bands to wear on their wrist to “snap back” to the present moment.”
➡️ le: “Breathe in confidence, breathe out stress and nerves, next play, l’ve got this.”

Have them try this a few times, then create their own version. Then set up stations where they practice it weekly. ✅

Hitting in the cage with opposite grip, or opposite-hand fungo 🥎 Every time they miss, they pick up their failure
recovery plan and do it. Goal is to keep emotions in line with their goals until the game is OVER.

Juggling, spinning a basketball, or writing with their opposite hand - anything they aren’t good at.

We feel the energy of those within 20 feet of us 🔥 Teams
with good body language tend to play more free and in the moment, in our opinion. By sitting them for an inning or two, it helps these players tighten their mind. They are worthy of being held to high standards.

Share this with someone who needs to hear how important body language is! 📥

Practice failing and turning the page quickly on mistakes. Plan it. Snap back. Practice keeping emotions in line w/ goals on fun things like chipping a golf ball or a blind drawing contest, then take it to sport specific drills. 🔥

Did you know visualizing improves stats and output by 23% (Univ. of Chicago study).

Here’s mistake I made as a college coach: I genuinely wanted others to benefit from these gold nuggets I had learned from a former athlete, a professional athlete, or a Div. 1 coach.

Now, I encourage people to think for themselves and find their own right answers.

Some will doubt you. Some will question your choices. I limit my time w/ them as maybe we aren’t aligned anymore, and that’s ok. It makes space for new friendships.

But then there are people who believe in you, support you, and cheer you on. I just passed two neighbor ladies on my walk today and we were genuinely happy for each other’s success.

The crowd can be electric or overwhelming, your players get to decide which one it becomes.

Teach them how to build their own SnapBack routine where they stay locked in no matter what’s happening around them. Championship players don’t ignore pressure, they just recover from it faster than everyone else.

Set up a distraction drill at practice where teammates blast music, wave flags, and heckle from the sideline during shooting or passing reps. Train athletes to perform sharp through the noise.

Coach them how to:
🔁 Build a personal SnapBack routine: breathe in confidence, breathe out stress and nerves.
🧠 Catch those spiraling thoughts before they turn into a spiraling play
🗣️ Use team language to bring each other back mid-match.
Composure isn’t natural - it’s trained

Time w/ my 3 boys to just play fills my heart.

A few days w/o practices, running kids, a little work, and no distractions. Okay their phones were a distraction but hey! We love to play imposter on the car ride. vacation recap ☀️

🚲 Bike ride around Mackinac island, MI
⛳️ Mini golf
📖 Reading at the pool
💪 Workouts
🏓 Pickleball
🔪 Knife-making class
🍽️ Dinner with live music

It’s an island of 550 residents that gets a million visitors a summer!

One of our favs as there are no cars on the island, just horses and bikes, like you stepped back in time.

What’s your favorite vacation spot? I like to plan the next one to look forward to.

Here are the other 2 myths coaches believe, that are actually costing them athlete buy-in.

🚫 Myth 2: Elite mindset is something athletes either have or don’t.
✅ Truth: It’s trainable. It’s built through reps, just like any physical skill.
⚙️ Do this: Build pressure into practice on purpose, create bad calls, practice failing and keeping emotions in line w goals.

🚫Myth 3 : One program fits all.
✅ Truth: The same program that builds a beginner, can stall or injure your most experienced athlete.
⚙️ Do this: meet athletes where they are. Give them a vote or a say in their practice or training. Wish I would’ve learned that a couple years earlier.

Which myth surprised you the most? Share this with a coach who’d find it helpful.📌
