Mental training for your team doesn't require a sports psychology degree. Get the free training here → coachfreetraining.com In this episode, I'm sitting down with Tyson Roffey, a club volleyball coach from Ottawa who runs mental performance training with his 15U girls team. He's not a therapist. He's not a mental performance specialist. He works in hospital IT. And he made it work. We break down exactly how he and two co-coaches implemented the Plug and Play Elite Mental Game program, what flopped at first, and the adjustments that changed everything. Here's what we cover:👉 Why one-time mental performance seminars don't create lasting change👉 How to introduce mental training to athletes AND parents👉 The hybrid delivery model that finally got buy-in from everyone👉 What happened the first time a player used her Snapback Routine in a live game👉 The 7-minute 3-2-1 Brave routine that gives you 20 minutes back in practice If you've ever thought "I know my team needs the mental game, I just don't know how to teach it" - this episode is for you.  👋🏼 I'm Coach Bre, a 4-time state champion volleyball coach and Certified Mental Performance Coach. I've spent 14+ years coaching girl athletes and built The Elite Competitor to give coaches proven, plug-and-play mental training systems that actually work.  🕓 Key Moments: 00:00 Introduction: The Mental Game Problem02:19 Meet Tyson Roffey08:40 Why Tyson Sought Mental Training11:57 Initial Hesitations: Time, Confidence & Buy-In17:24 How Tyson Rolled Out the Program18:29 Adapting the Approach: The Hybrid Model21:28 Results: What Coaches Started Noticing26:14 The 3-2-1 Brave Routine in Practice30:26 Impact on Coaching & Parent Engagement34:05 Advice for Coaches on the Fence 💬 Comment below: What's the #1 thing holding you back from doing mental training with your team? ⬇️ 📩 Work with Coach Bre: coachfreetraining.com 📌 Free Tools & Next Steps🎓 Free Mental Training Resource for Coaches: coachfreetraining.com📲 Instagram: @coachhergame🎙 Podcast: Coach Her Game Podcast🔹 Follow us on TikTok→ @coachhergame🔹 Championship Program Membership: champions.elitecompetitor.com🔹 Player Impact Plan: https://elitecompetitor.kit.com/6639eaaf9f 🔔 Subscribe for More → Never miss an episode of Coach Her Game!
