Mental Performance Playbook Episode 169. Brought to you by The Athletes Health.In this episode of The Mental Performance we cover the saying you've probably heard it a thousand times, "don't compare your kid to other athletes." But, sports compare kids at every level, all the time. Playing time, rankings, lineups, it's all comparison. Pretending it doesn't happen doesn't protect your athlete. It just leaves them unprepared for reality.In this episode, Gabe Rummel breaks down why comparison isn't the villain everyone makes it out to be. Comparison isn't good or bad. It's just information, two things placed side by side. The problem isn't that comparison exists. The problem is nobody's taught how to use it right.Gabe walks through how to turn comparison from a source of shame into a tool for growth, how to help your athlete see where they stand without spiraling, and why the comparison only gets more intense as your athlete moves up levels. If you want your athlete to handle comparison instead of avoiding it, this episode gives you the mindset shift to start.Check out more!Website: ⁠https://www.theathleteshealth.com/⁠Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/gaberummeltah/⁠Free Athlete Assessment: https://www.theathleteshealth.com/free-mental-max-out-finderFree Parent Snapshot Questionnaire: https://www.theathleteshealth.com/tah-mental-max-snapshotText us!
