She Flipped The Script: 14yo Athlete Takes Over My Interview!

Emily is 14, plays lacrosse, and is in our mental training program. She had a school project. She picked me as her expert to interview! I said yes. I had no idea she'd be this good. 😆 Emily came prepared with real questions about mental training, girl athletes, and what coaches and parents actually get right and wrong. And she did not hold back.👋🏼 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.Here's what Emily asked me:❓Why I quit volleyball before college and whether I regret it❓What coaches get wrong when athletes make mistakes❓What unique pressures girl athletes face that non-athletes never deal with❓Why athletes struggle to ask for help when they're mentally stuckThen I flipped it. I started asking Emily questions.What she said about coaches, parents, sideline pressure, and what actually makes athletes feel safe enough to ask for help, every coach needs to hear this straight from her. No filter. No polish. Just Emily. 🙃🕓 Key Moments:00:00 Introduction01:35 Bretagne's Journey as an Athlete03:27 Walk-On College Comeback05:15 Creating The Elite Mental Game06:55 Unique Pressures Athletes Face10:20 Why Athletes Struggle to Ask for Help13:49 Advice for Parents & Coaches22:03 Mental Training on the Court32:03 Practical Mental Reset Techniques39:40 Emily's Experience in the ProgramLike, subscribe, and share with a coach who needs it.👇 Drop a comment below - Give Emily LOVE for doing such a fantastic job! ♥️📩 Join the Varsity Squad newsletter for weekly coaching tools: coachfreetraining.com🎓 Explore Plug and Play Elite Mental Game for Teams: coachfreetraining.com📌 Other Tools & ResourcesFree training for coaches →coachfreetraining.com👉 Plug & Play Elite Mental Game System for High School Coaches → https://elitecompetitor.com/plugplayemg📲 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/6639eaaf9fP.S.
