How to Get Your Skill Back Before Season Starts

from PerformHappy with Rebecca Smith

This week on the PerformHappy Podcast, I’m talking to athletes who are stuck. You know you’re capable of doing the skill—you’ve done it before—but for some reason, it’s just not happening right now. Maybe you’re dealing with the pressure of move-ups, recovering from a past fall, or your brain is simply hitting the brakes. You’re not alone, and there is a way through it that doesn’t involve just pushing harder or trying to force your way over the mental block.In fact, trying to "just do it" is usually the opposite of what works. In this episode, I’m sharing what actually helps: starting with ditching perfection, tuning into what your brain needs, and building momentum through small wins. Whether you're the athlete going through it, or a parent or coach supporting someone who is, you’ll walk away with clear, actionable tools to make progress—even when progress feels slow.In this episode, Coach Rebecca talks about:How to shift your focus from perfection to progressThe power of treating each turn like an experimentWhat to do instead of comparing yourself to your best dayWhy communication with coaches and parents is important to getting unstuckOne essential mindset shift for parents“When you stop judging every turn and start treating it like data, you actually build the confidence you’ve been chasing.” – Coach RebeccaLearn exactly what to say and do to guide your athlete through a mental block with my new book "Parenting Through Mental Blocks" Order your copy today: https://a.co/d/g990BurFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/complete_performance/Join my FaceBook page: https://www.facebook.com/completeperformancecoaching/Check out my website: https://completeperformancecoaching.com/Write to me!
