Get StartedFear Stands In The Way of Resilience.
Many people think that resilience and mental toughness are about making someone tougher; they believe that athletes just need to need to suck it up and get stronger mentally. We take a slightly different approach. Yes, you can and should have high standards and be tough on your athletes, but if you want to teach them to be tougher, you also have to actively remove the thing that is standing in their way: Fear.
When athletes are in their own head too much, when they are obsessed with not failing, when they are fearful of not being good enough, it's impossible to be relentless. When you help your athletes remove their negative thoughts, they will feel the freedom and safety to really go for it.
Teaching your athletes to stop letting fear dictate their performance starts with you. Through this toolbox, you'll work on your own awareness of failure so you'll be equipped with actionable tools to bring to your team and help them get over their fear of failure.
