Do you have any athletes on your team who struggle with confidence?
Do you have any athletes who panic or overthink?
Do you have any athletes who get derailed by adversity?
Athletes are human and a lot of them get into their own heads, as we all do. So yes, whether you’re aware of it or not, players you are currently coaching are struggling with confidence, they’re panicking, overthinking and don’t know how to deal with adversity.
Dr. Cassidy Preston, a Mental Performance Coach who primarily works with professional athletes & high-performing executives, is here to help.
Preston, a former OHL & pro hockey player, combines his personal experiences with the current research in sport and performance psychology to create relatable and practical strategies for his clients to apply. He shared solutions for coaches to help athletes struggling to be at their best during a fantastic 15-minute presentation at TCS Live in Ann Arbor last summer.
“You as a coach, you want to help your players play well. But saying things like ‘believe in yourself’, ‘toughen up,’ or ‘be positive,’ are the outcomes we want, they’re not the how-tos. I call that putting bandaids on bullet holes.”
In this presentation, Preston, who is also the founder of CEP Mindset and co-host of the Beyond the X’s & O’s Podcast – sponsored by The Coaches Site, introduces a three-step solution so coaches can learn how to effectively communicate and help their players optimize their performance and well-being.
This video is available exclusively to members of The Coaches Site.
