Are the children just fitting into what the adults want out of sport? Like, have we created this environment that we're forcing the kids to fit into, or are we looking at the kids and then creating an environment around what they need?
And of course, we're not doing that, and we need to be shifting into that direction. Welcome to the Mindset Coach Academy Podcast. I'm Lindsey Wilson, and I am a high-performance mindset coach, a mom, a former professional athlete, and an entrepreneur. I help coaches and high performers optimize their mindset to improve their coaching, their performance, and those of their athletes, and their lives.
Here you'll learn all about mindset, how to live it, how to teach it, and how to sell it. Hi, guys, and welcome back to the Mindset Coach Academy Podcast. Today, we have Skye Eddy from SoccerParenting.com, and I'm so excited. Skye and I are in a mastermind together, so I picked a brain a little bit, but we're going to get right into it today. Hi, Skye. Hi. Thanks for having me. So excited about this conversation.
Yeah, this is going to be great. I was kind of like, as usual, I do a little bit of research ahead of time. Of course, we know each other, but like the mission of your organization. And we talked a little bit offline, but if you wouldn't mind just talking about a little bit about yourself and a little bit about the organization, and then we can kind of take it from there if you don't mind.
Yeah, for sure. So I found a soccer parenting when my kids were coming up in the game about 12 years ago now. My oldest daughter at that time, Callie, was eight, nine, just really deciding like, gosh, this is a sport that I'm really excited about. And I am a former player. I played collegiately. I played professionally. I've been an active coach for many, many years. At that point, I had my B license. So it was a pretty experienced coach.
It was coaching in college. And I found a soccer parenting as Callie specifically was coming up in the game because Lindsey, like, I thought being a soccer parent would be really easy, given all my experiences. And I actually found it really hard for a variety of reasons we can get into. But there were some definite challenges. And I knew if this was hard for me, that it was hard for other parents as well. And so really just decided to try to hop in and help. And big picture, really try to work on the dynamic of the coach-parent relationship and how that can be most effective.
So many questions. My oldest is like eight, about to turn nine this summer. So this is like, she's playing soccer and like doing all the things. And yeah, so I have lots of questions about that. But okay, so let's talk about sort of the, we talked a little bit about the impetus, but like, even if we can go even deeper, I mean, like, both of us are passionate about sports. I love sports. I mean, I'm not as passionate about sports as athletes, as competitors. And talk to me about like, like the big picture of like, what you really want the sports experience to be and, and where we're not, at least in soccer, it's probably the same in most sports.
Yeah. I mean, something that I love so much about the game of soccer and sport in general. I was a multi-sport athlete growing up. I have a lot of experiences in track, played basketball in college. And so I have a lot of sporting experiences as a gymnast growing up. So, you know, sports has always been a big part of my life. And absolutely, I totally relate to your comment. Like it's just sort of built into my DNA in terms of how I approach the work that I'm doing, just my daily habits, like, you know, the things that we learned in sport.
So that's really important to me. The children have an opportunity to experience those life lessons and have an opportunity to learn lessons and teamwork, grit, resiliency, leadership, followership, you know, all of the lessons that were so clear that sport provides. And when I see that the sporting experience for young athletes is not necessarily providing them with what they need. And that a lot of those sporting structures are kind of based on the needs of the adults, not the needs of the kids.
Like that's a real driving motivation, motivating factor for me. And then also, you know, when I was on a podcast a while ago, and this was a podcast from Europe, and they were like, so what do you, you know, big picture, what are you trying to accomplish? And without even thinking about it, I blurted out, I want to bring the world together through football. And I said that I was like, oh, wow, that was like a big statement. But, but you know what, big picture, that's what I want to do. And that's what sport is so uniquely provided, uniquely positioned to do is to establish community and a sense of belonging. And this is what people need so much. So if I would say like really, really big picture beyond the life lessons, it's this helping families and players, coaches, referees, officials, everyone really find a deeper connection to themselves through feeling a sense of belonging to the sporting experience they're a part of. Yeah, I love that.
I got goosebumps. I mean, I think that's like something that so many of us that look back on our sports career, it's like, you think about, of course, you think about like the trophies or the times you want, but that's not really like your main memories. Your main memories are like the experiences and the relationships and, and the hard times.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely. I mean, I literally won because I don't have a good memory in general, but like, I literally don't remember like, who I played in like the quarterfinals of the national championships that we ended up playing into the final. Like if you asked me, like, who did you play in the quarters?
I'd be like, I have to really think about it. Like, I have no memories of that. But I do love the connections that I have to teammates. I do remember like the emotion of playing the whether it's that intensity or the sadness of defeat or, you know, like just all of those things really ring true for me. And then teammates, I also coached a lot in the summers and had these amazing experiences working camps all across the United States.
And like, those were my people. And then layering that in, I'm a goalkeeper. So, you know, in soccer, we have what we call the goalkeeper union, like we're just a special group of people. So I have that connection and identify as a goalkeeper. And literally the doors are just open when you meet another goalkeeper, even if you're traveling in Denmark, it's like an amazing connection, high five, GK union, like, you know, there's that.
So these are all things that I feel really deep about. Well, you have to come to the Mindset Coach Academy, because I know we have at least two, maybe three goalkeeper that are working with. Yeah. Actually, see, I know the goalkeepers stick in this for longer. There's so many broadcasters, there's so many leaders in the game right now that are goalkeepers. I think that's worth noting. Okay, so the soccer pairing association. So, okay, so we're all in alignment about the importance of sort of the intangibles when it comes to sports. Where is your organization bridging that gap? And two key ways.
So that's stand out to me in this moment. First is, so one thing was, is that when Callie was like nine, she had made the very first like ADP program, or made for the first time an ADP program. So it's like a, you try out for it.
I mean, my personal opinion, way too early for selection and stuff, but this is the way that the structures work in America. So she's for the first time with a paid coach, granted, up until then I was her coach. So she had a pretty good qualified coach. But you know, she's, I would just drop her off for training and over time she came back into the car and was not motivated and was saying it was boring. Was like, do I have to go back? It kind of, and so, so being curious, I decided to go watch a couple of training sessions, which were totally open for parents. I just wanted her to have her own space and wasn't hanging out at practice. And when I did watch practices, Lindsey, like it was totally understandable why Callie was bored and why she was frustrated because it was very boring practice and it wasn't in the best interest of a nine year old. It wasn't a learning environment that was conducive to the way they learn and to the way they feel inspired. There weren't enough interactions on the ball. There wasn't enough exciting instruction.
There wasn't I made note of that. And then also without causing any stress, not being crazy parent, nothing like that, just ask some of the other parents on the sidelines during the game that were already friends of mine because the kids all go to school together like, hey, what do you think of the environment? And all the parents are totally satisfied. And it struck me in that moment that until parents understand what real quality learning environments look like for their children, that we're never going to be meeting the needs of children.
Like parents actually will be a difference maker when it comes to improving the game. And so that sort of set me on this path. And I want to be clear, as I mentioned the second point, it'll become even clearer. Like this is not coaches versus parents, what we're doing. This is, this is everyone just like rising together, like parents getting educated, coaches being inspired to get educated, us all working together, holistically to meet the holistic needs of the players that are in front of us. And so the second thing that kind of like really struck me and the founding of soccer paring.
So one is like the parents lack of understanding about athlete development. And two, you know, when I went to go to talk to the director of the club, which I was actually already coaching and doing some goalkeeper work for the club at the time. But when I went to sit down with executive director about this environment, I was going into the meeting with the idea of how I can help like, Oh, awesome.
Like, let's let's really work to improve. And I sat down in his office and he sat behind his big desk. And suddenly sitting in front of him was a crazy soccer parent who was frustrated and upset.
And he made up all this narrative about nothing that was true. I was literally there because I loved the game and I wanted to help and I was skilled to do so and experienced to do so. And I walked out of there realizing, of course, I was always clear on the dynamic of the coach-parent relationship and how strain that is in sports. But I walked out of that meeting feeling like, I'm going to take this on.
I'm going to work this out so that this nobody can take the sport away from me. And he just tried to. He just tried to qualify me and put me in this category of being a crazy parent and I am not one. And I'm not okay with that. And so that really set in motion the work that we're doing.
And we're so excited. We have over 200 clubs around the United States that partner with us. I work with US Soccer and their content development around parent education. And we work with some of the largest leagues and state associations in the United States. People are buying into this mission now of, like I said, parents will be difference makers.
And that collaborative relationships with appropriate boundaries between coaches and parents is absolutely in the best interest of player development. Oh my God, I love this guy. I mean, I feel like the last, I don't know, more than a decade, probably. It's like, it just seemed like as the money and the time commitment and the ages that people were getting serious, like this narrative started just becoming so ubiquitous of like the crazy sport parent.
And it just seems like so much of that. And our mutual friend, John O'Sullivan, I remember him talking about like, there's some diagram and I'm going to, you probably know about as your commitment rises, like your expectations rise too. And that's like a very human natural response. And then the pressure rises for the kid. And it's like, it seems like so much of the parent, let's say misbehavior or is just redirected, misdirected, either fear or not having their questions answered or just not knowing where, where to put their hands. So to speak, you know what I mean? Like, and I love this sort of bringing everybody together because everybody wants their kids to be successful. It's like, they're there driving every weekend, because they want to see success and, and using that in a more positive way.
Yeah. One of the things that's been so exciting about this work that I've been doing is that I've been interviewing global experts in football, soccer, youth development, mindset, you know, mental performance, like I've had the the door open to me, like literally every time I've reached out to anyone about being on our platform, they've all said yes. And it's afforded me the opportunity to interact with some real thought leaders in sport. And one of those is Marco Sullivan. He's a professor at the Norwegian School of Sport now. He is in works in football.
He's from Ireland, but was working at AIK in Denmark when I met him or Sweden when I met him. And he says two things that kind of stand out to me there is like a lot of our issues are structural in nature. Like the amount of stress that parents are feeling is understandable, given the structure that we have and the lack of education that parents have. Like it's a course, it's like the natural progression of all of those things colliding will be not the crazy soccer parent, not the crazy sports parent.
There's not really an excuse necessarily for that, like real irrational behavior. But the target people that I'm interacting with through soccer parenting are the parents that are like me and I would assume like you like I'm a level headed sports parent who's sometimes stressed. And when I have that stress, the education will really, really help a community will really, really help. And, you know, structural deficiencies aside, you know, we have to show up for the kids. And then the other thing that Mark says that I really like I've been using it in all of my presentations this year is is sport.
How does he say it? Sorry, something like a sport for the children or our children for sport? Like, are the children just fitting into what the adults want out of sport? Like, have we created this environment that we're forcing the kids to fit into? Or are we looking at the kids and then creating an environment around what they need? And of course, we're not doing that. And we need to be shifting into that direction. Yeah, I love this. I mean, I'm just kind of starting my coaching with my kids and my parenting as I mean, I guess we've been doing it for a couple years, but you know, it's getting it's getting more serious.
So I can definitely see these dynamics sort of developing. We're not quite there yet. But I remember going to a try out, my daughter was the first soccer team. And, and they did have what you're talking about, that idea of like parents are great. Parents can really help. And we're here for the kids and like they're, and I was immediately like so attracted to the culture. And, and me, and like you said, with appropriate boundaries, like the parents are on the sideline, like, and the kids can get their own water bottle, you know, like, and the athlete and me like loves all those boundaries too, because it's really important, you know, like the sideline is for people that are not playing, you know, um, but I love that. And I thought that's a different message than I feel like, I mean, again, I haven't really been in the sports world as a parent until recently, really. But I feel like that narrative is shifting. And I've got no organization has a lot to do with that.
Because this was a soccer team, soccer club, I should say. And I just love that. Like, and I can feel myself as a parent, sort of relax when I hear that too. It's like, yeah, you know, you're paying lots and lots of money. You're taking a lot of time out of other things you could be doing in your life, let's be honest. And committing to this. And it's like, we have to be aware that we're not committing for an exact result.
Like there's no college scholarship that's guaranteed at the end. But these intangibles and their experience can be, we can have a say in all of that. Absolutely. I mean, like what you're saying is actually there's a lot of really well-founded research that's related to that feeling that you have. So like we know that schools that have effective parent engagement programs, which are not rocket science, like effective parent engagement is not like this massive burden, but it's opening the door with boundaries, establishing trust, maybe having some certain programming, literally going out of their way to welcome and invite the parents to say, like you felt that message. Like the research is really clear that when schools have effective parent engagement programs, the kids stay in school longer, they perform better on test scores. The parents are more empathetic to the needs of the teachers. The teachers are more satisfied with their jobs.
The kids do their homework. Like there's so many benefits. And so if we can translate that into our sporting structures and ask our clubs and organizations to engage parents, and when we see that shift, then there will be some tangible benefits.
And one of those is what you, that sense and that feeling that you had on the sideline. And it all starts with trust and community. And I'd love to see this slow shift in the work that we're doing. Yeah, I do take some credit for that.
Like I'm really proud of the work that we're doing in this space. And, you know, John, who you mentioned, John O'Sullivan would change in the game project. You know, he was in the space well before me, positive coaching, lots like other people have been trying these messages.
And it's gone from 12 years ago when I started everyone thinking I was crazy myself. Like you want to take on the parents? Like let me buy you a drink was like the response I'd get from coaches at conventions. To now it's like giving me high fives, thanking me for the work that you're doing, asking me like how can I get involved? Like there's been this tangible, clear shift in the way coaches feel about parents. And it's really, really exciting because I do believe it'll make sports better. And how does that, so I, you know, we have a lot of coaches in our community. And I feel like, you know, if you're on any message board or getting any DMs from coaches, they always want like, you know, what's your biggest struggle? It's like the parents, the parents, the parents, the parents.
We kind of already touched on this. But like again, taking aside the real crazies, right? There's like the, I don't know, 5% or 1% I don't know what it is of like the crazy crazies.
And then like you said, most of us are stressed, not always making good decisions, but well-intentioned. Yeah, yeah. I mean, what's the, like, what's an example of how that changes the coaches when the coach buys into this?
Yeah, yeah. How does that change there? Because I feel like a lot of them, they're focused on these crazy parents. That's what they then see. That's what they're spending their energy on. They get burnout. They feel like there's no solutions. Like what's the real world's tangible benefit to a coach embracing sort of this philosophy or philosophy about parents?
Yeah, I'll go into that in a second. First, I want to talk just a little bit more in depth about the crazy sports parent. Like this is a real problem. And I don't know if in your coaching that you've had so far, if you've had a legit crazy parent on your team, but I have in my years coaching and I'll tell you, it's trauma inducing stress that made me not want to ever coach again. And so as coaches, when we do experience this truly irrational parent, it is triggering. And there is of course a tendency to protect ourselves from that. And over the years, the natural inclination has been to therefore just avoid all parents.
Like just avoid them all, keep your boundaries, keep that wall up. Like that's what I was told even in my coach education coming up in the game 30 years ago. And so we have to acknowledge the role of the crazy sports parent and how that is impacted the environment.
And so for coaches, it's put this wall up. And then flip side of that, for parents, like as a level head of parent, the last thing we want to be perceived as is a crazy parent. So we like go out of our way to not ask questions, to not be engaged, to not feel like we're that way at all. And unfortunately that's like led to a lack of engagement. Our biggest like challenge we talk about internally at software parenting is the apathy of parents. Like they just don't feel a need to get involved because I think a lot of that is because of like historical crazy sports parents being in the space. When I'm doing coach education in this space, my first question to coaches or to club leaders is what do you believe to be true about you sports parents? And we need to have some real talk about that.
And coaches need to understand the biases that they have that are actually largely unfounded and are actually holding them back from enjoying the sport. And so you said like what's the tangible benefit of engaging with parents? Like we all want to feel community. We all want to feel a sense of belonging. And when we do engage parents, we establish a team environment that's so much more enjoyable for everyone. And that's really the connection that we're seeking, I believe. And so the benefits are clear.
And it will lead to less stress for you as a coach. If you're willing to, maybe you need to build some skills to be able to interact with parents. And you don't have that skill set of self confidence, self management, self awareness to be able to interact adequately with parents. And you need to work on that skill set.
But the benefits are real. And I hear that all the time from coaches. And side note, I hear from coaches all the time also that say, I never have issues with parents. I love the parents on my team.
Like the coaches that get this and that this naturally comes to them, there are many coaches who very rarely, if ever, have any issues whatsoever with parents. And it is very collaborative. And so we need to acknowledge that as well. Yeah, I love that. I feel like that's big picture. I can totally see like the real mission of what you guys are doing.
Okay, so give me some like tangible takeaways. Let's say I'm a coach and I love that. Cause I think you're spot on with that trauma response. Whether you've experienced it or not, I think the narrative has been like the crazy little league parent.
And so I remember when I coached, I don't know, probably 15 years ago, I was like, parents over there, I'm over here. Like that's it. And that was just like the easiest, maybe that was the easiest way. But definitely that narrative I think has been really ubiquitous. And of course, you know, it's like social media. It's like the video you're gonna see is the crazy little league parent. You're not gonna see, it's not gonna go viral when somebody's like interacting really well. Yeah, exactly.
Totally, totally. I'll also say that what we're doing at Soccer Parenting and with our all sport, we have an all sport brand called the sideline project. Like what we're doing with this is we're creating a movement for the level head of parents and we're giving them some agency in the space because we have enabled and allowed this environment to take over youth sports because we haven't spoken up to the crazy parent enough. And so they're the ones that have been leading. Like we've facilitated this environment by not engaging with a level headed parents.
We've enabled the environment to take off like it has. And that crazy parent is a strong voice on the sideline and they will pull others along with them all the time they will. And so we have to really rethink the way that we're engaging with parents for this in mind so that we can say, like we say at Soccer Parenting and the sideline project, like level headed parents unite, let's take back the sidelines and give you sports back to the kids. Like this is what we're trying to do and this is what we're accomplishing is trying to give agency to the vast majority of parents.
I love that. I know you had some resources I think for parents, but before that, like if I'm a coach and I'm like picking up everything you're putting down, what are some like real low hanging fruit things that I can do within my team or my organization to start, maybe I have had those walls up, or I'm starting with a new team. Like how can I create at least plant some seeds to have this sort of culture? Sure. So three things coming to mind. One is like easy takeaways, things you can do, learn the first name of all the parents on your team. Like we have to give parents that respect and go out of our way.
And for me, that's actually really hard. Like I literally have to make flashcards, like kid's name on the front, parents name on the back. I like, okay, I'm gonna get these three today before training and then I'm gonna try to say hi or see if one of them's there at the drop off. Like, so absolutely learn the first name of all the parents on your team.
And then in conjunction with that, I would just ask all coaches to have some reflection. Like take a moment and actually take 10 minutes, five minutes, 10 minutes, and actually pull out a piece of paper and write about what you feel about parents. Like the feeling you get after a game or a match when the parents are coming over towards you. Are you stressed? Is your heart racing faster? Like do you have these biases?
And if you do, I think it's really important that we begin to just start by acknowledging them so that we can move past them. And that would probably be the second thing. And then we have a great course for coaches called Parent Engagement for Coaches. It could also be aptly named like establishing a sense of community on your team. And it's a really good course for coaches to take just before the season kicks off because it has all the downloads you need for team meetings, talking about sideline behavior, talking about sense of community and the research behind sense of community theory, which is really foundational to our work. So there's definitely, I would say, check out that course.
And I can give you a coupon code to attach the meeting notes here to the pocket. Awesome, how much is the course and how long does it take? The course is 60 minutes. It takes, it's self-guided, it's $59. And I'll go ahead and give a 25% discount code to the coaches that are listening to this podcast.
With a code that you can come up with if you want to right now. Okay, let's say positive. Can you just do positive? Oh, love it.
Okay, yeah. Coupon code positive, 25% discount to the course. It's something that the feedback we get from it is really, really positive. It's just for the coach to really have a plan for the season and how you're gonna engage with the parents to kind of shift the narrative and how you interact.
Well, I mean, it's something like that. I mean, I'm sure you learn a lot of tools in the course, but I've also noticed when people just decide that like, I'm taking this course, I mean, my intention for this season is to improve in this area. You start getting ideas yourself outside of the course too. And ways to engage. And I love those really simple things that they can do.
What a great time and investment for them. Yeah, we do, I mentioned like sense of community theory and that research. So one of the modules in that course talks about like, do you have team managers in the sports you coach? Not, yeah, but usually a mom or dad takes care of it. Yeah, exactly.
That's what I mean. Like a parent that steps up to be like a team parent, they're the ones that might organize snacks or tell what color you're wearing if you have different multiple jerseys, whatever. So we talk about on the course like having that and in the teams that I coach, I also have somebody that kind of has a little bit of a different title and is the social coordinator. So like a point, a social coordinator to come up with three events that the team does throughout the course of the season. It can be two events with the players only. Maybe it's they go get an ice cream after a Saturday game or something like that. But it definitely needs to kick off with like a potluck supper for all the parents or the families, like an opportunity for the families to come together. Like that's when sports gets special. And so we have to be really intentional because we're so busy in going in so many directions.
And if as a coach, it's too much to ask where team manager already has enough on their plate, just empower somebody else to be the social coordinator on the team and just give them clarity that we just need to have three events. That's all you have to do. And let's just start there and see what happens from that. I love all that. And then you might also mention something for parents.
I think you had something, that some new resource that you're doing. Yeah, I mean, we've got so the way that a lot of our partnerships work is that we have an education platform specifically for soccer parents. We are building out our all sport platform through the sideline project.
Right now on the sideline project is a really cool course that is really effective in improving sideline behavior and getting game day experiences. And then we have a very robust membership site, education platform for youth soccer parents. That's called soccerparentresourcecenter.com. There's coach education on there as well related to like relationship building, building stronger connections, emotional intelligence and coaching, all of those like soft skills, I call them essential skills that coaches need when it comes to being that transformational coach. Yeah, so soccerparentresourcecenter.com is the education platform. And we think that sports has like six pillars to being a sports parent. So there's education related to the body for parents, how growth impacts performance, relative age effect, functional movement, those types of things as well as many more.
Maybe coaches are thinking of things now. The mind, all the mental performance stuff, so great information from sports ecologists, global sports ecologists. The game itself, so whatever the sport might be, the next level, so maybe a high performance player or like for your daughter, maybe she recently went from rec into travel. So how you make that transition to the next level. We write about one of the pillars for sports parenting is the coach-parent relationship, how to navigate that, how to have a difficult conversation with a coach, when to talk to a coach about playing time, like whatever those issues might be. And then the final pillar is parenting. So car ride home, interactions with your child, helping your child goal set, those types of things. Yeah, love all of it.
I'm such a nerd with all this stuff. I wanna take your coach, because I just coached this last year basketball for the first time. Great, how was it? Coaching my kids. Yeah. It was awesome. It was like, it was so many of the girls, including my own, who had never played before. So I'd like finish a practice and I'd be like, oh, they don't know how to, I'm teaching what the baseline is.
It's just like the key. There were so many moments like that. And I was like, we played a game and I was like, oh, they don't know how to box out. Okay, that's exactly what it was like.
It was very basic. But it was super fun, especially at that age. It's like they're learning all the skills, but you really are focusing. For me, it's all about having fun and playing hard. So I'm all about the stickers for diving on the floor for loose balls. And it's just really fun to see, of course I'm biased, but the girls especially, getting aggressive and getting in there and wanting the ball.
And so that was super fun. But I love all those, I can see, I was like, I didn't know every single parent's name. So like little things like that that I can definitely take away. Yeah, yeah. And I bet, I mean, how bonus for those kids to have you as their coach to start out with, like that's something that, we need to address in the structures as well, is like the quality of the coaches that are interacting with our youngest, most novice, impressionable players really need to have like these greater skills and understanding like you had.
Like I just think about that. I was like, what a great experience for those kids. Oh, it was so fun.
I was definitely a great experience for me too. So anyway, Scott, this is awesome. I'm like, my brain is spinning in all the different ideas you had. And I absolutely love your mission. And I just think, you know, it's like talk about giving back to the game and giving back to sports. Like you should be really proud of yourself.
Like what you're doing really matters. And I think it's just amazing. And I want everybody to listen to this and when everybody come and look at all this, all the great resources you have, where is the best place for people to just get more information? I know they can go to your website. Is there another place that's good to just sort of stay in touch? Yeah, I mean, Sograpanning.com is our like hub of everything in terms of all the information. And I'm pretty active on Twitter, Sky Eddie on Twitter, SKYE, EDDY. So, you know, that's a good place to connect, reach out, the DMs are open there and spend a lot of time interacting with coaches on that platform especially. Yeah, cool. Thank you so much, Sky.
Absolutely. Love everything that you're doing and I appreciate you taking the time. Oh, thanks so much. Take care. We'll talk soon. Bye.
Yeah. Hey guys, if you've ever thought, had just even an inkling of a thought about becoming a mental performance coach, it's likely that you also had some questions about that. Like where would I get clients? What would I teach them?
What would I charge? Can I do this without getting another degree? If you've ever had any of those questions, I have really good news for you because I've answered all of them in a free 60 page book called How to Become a Mental Performance Coach even without your sports psychology degree. I go into all of these questions and so much more in this book and the best news is it's totally free.
