A key theme is that foundational skills like focus underpin confidence and resilience, and coaches should replace assumptions with curiosity by asking athletes about their internal experiences. The discussion also highlights gaps in research and practice, including the need for internal belonging before team belonging, more nuanced understanding of female athlete development, and greater emphasis on joy, contentment, and emotional awareness.
