Most parents don’t mean to add pressure.
But one small habit after meets can quietly increase it.
When conversations revolve around numbers, kids start believing those numbers mean something about them.
About their effort.
About their worth.
The truth is, scores aren’t something your child controls.
But they often become the thing athletes use to judge themselves the most.
Helping kids focus on effort, resilience, and growth doesn’t lower standards.
It gives them a foundation that actually supports confidence under pressure.
On this week’s PerformHappy Podcast, I talk about how the way we talk about scores shapes an athlete’s confidence and performance.
If you want to listen to the full episode, comment SCORE and I’ll send it to you.
If you want tools to help your athlete build confidence and resilience, comment BREAKTHROUGH and I’ll share my Mental Strength Starter Guide.
