The reason being, athletes who enjoy themselves play better.As a mental performance coach, I've worked with athletes as young as nine, all the way to the professional level. And this truth holds true no matter the athlete's age or skill level.When an athlete has fun, they play better. When they're not having fun, they tend to play tight, have many negative and unhelpful thoughts, and overall their performance level drops.But knowing that having fun is the most important goal for young athletes does not mean it's easy for them to have fun while playing.There are many factors that can reduce the joy an athlete feels, sometimes even turning a sport they used to love into something they dread.To help, in this podcast, I'm going to detail the main factors that lead young athletes to lose the love for the game, along with tips you can use as a parent or coach to help your young athlete enjoy themselves more while playing.Connect with Success Starts Within, LLC: 👉 YouTube videos: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTKTsxBhit3shv2CXjuDI8g👉 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elistraw/👉 Mental training courses : https://www.successstartswithin.com/mental-coaching-resources👉 Sports Psychology Website: https://www.successstartswithin.com-----------------P.S.
