Be Real with JoDee

when your coach doesn’t give you compliments

JoDee Season 1 Episode 42

In this episode of Be Real with JoDee, we talk about what to do when you’re not getting the validation you want from your coach, your teammates, or anyone else.


If you’ve ever walked off the field wishing someone would say “good job” — and instead heard only what you did wrong — this episode is for you. JoDee shares a story from a recent coaching session with a teen athlete who was tired of feeling disappointed after every game, and how learning to “let the coach off the hook” changed everything.


You’ll learn how to stop giving other people power over how you feel, how to create confidence from your own thoughts, and how to find the fun again — no matter what feedback you get.


Because you don’t play for praise — you play for joy.
