There is no manual on how to be a sports mom. Your female athlete may receive extensive coaching, but how many coaches do we as mothers receive to assist our daughters?

Female athletes go through a lot of phases. The most common situation that they're going to face is having a hard time coming back from mistakes. A lot of athletes beat themselves for those mistakes. They focus on the one mistake and it goes downhill from there. Navigating the obstacles that your daughter faces as an athlete is difficult. 

What kind of mom can navigate through these challenges? 

Today, I'm going to share with you these two types of sports moms and help you figure out where you fit in between the two.

I'm going to talk about what these two moms do and how they approach these very common issues that their athlete daughters face.

Which Mom Do You Identify Yourself With? 

What do you do when your daughter is struggling out there with things that every athlete struggles with: pressure, nervousness, making mistakes, feeling like she let the team down, and not knowing how to recover from mistakes?

If your daughter is going through these things, there is nothing wrong with her.

However, it is your responsibility as her mother to equip her with the necessary skills to navigate this.

If you're "Winging it, Wendy," you're just winging it. You'll go to Google. You're simply telling her to be self-assured. You're telling her to unwind. You're telling her that everyone makes mistakes.

Here's the thing: “Telling is not teaching.”

Your daughter needs to practice these skills to manage her emotions and achieve her goals. And, fortunately, your daughter has an opportunity right in front of her. If you haven't already, go to trainhergame.com and look at the training where I go more in-depth with this.

"Winging It Wendy" literally means "winging it." Because she takes a different approach, "Game Changer Gabby" changes the game for her daughter. She is not like other mothers who are winging it. She is very deliberate in her approach to her daughter. She is very deliberate about the opportunities she gives her daughter to improve her own mental game. She is very deliberate in what she says to her daughter. She is deliberate in what she says to herself aloud. And she's very intentional in all of these areas, which changes the game for her daughter as well as their relationship.

Ask yourself today…

“Am I winging it and being Wendy?” If yes then, “How can I become more like Gabby?”

Strengthen her mental game and what you can do to support her, making sure you're saying and doing things that will help her rather than just telling her to be confident.
