078: How to Level Up Your Team with Mental Performance

The Fearless Warrior Podcast

For this week's episode, Coach Kara and I provide an overview of our first in-person mental skills camp! Mental skills training is transforming softball, giving players the tools they need to handle the mental challenges of the game without their gloves or bats. During the camp, we had stations that covered how to catch negative thoughts, develop breathing techniques, create routines, and recover from failure.
Episode Highlights:

• Why mental skills training is crucial in softball
• Mental skills can be taught during practice without sacrificing physical development
• Mental skills in a team setting help players feel less alone in their struggles
• The importance of mental reps is just as important as the physical ones
