March 27, 2010 - Grace Under Pressure

If you’re the parent of a young athlete, you know that sports, like life, can be exhilarating or heartbreaking. One of the reasons we love our kids to play competitive sports is for the life-lessons it teaches.

However, these days, the pressure to perform and succeed is probably greater than ever in the past. Kids feel anxiety at every level and some handle it better than others. If you’ve got a child who is missing the mark in coping with the adversity of athletics, there is a program to help you get them on the right track.

Dr. Patrick Cohn, author of the Confident Athlete series has developed a seven day plan for helping young athletes cope with frustration called The Composed Sports Kid. The program will help you discover the secrets that make young athletes composed when things go badly. They’ll perform with greater consistency and let go of mistakes…all in less than 15 minutes a day.

Dr. Cohn is a dedicated mental game coach, and sports psychology expert, who has studied, researched, and worked with thousands of athletes for nearly two decades. During this period of time, he has worked with some of the top athletes in the world, including PGA Tour winners and NASCAR winners, on techniques to improve confidence, focus, and composure for sports for over 20 years.

Playing sports should be fun for all – not anguish – even at a high level. The Composed Sports Kid will allow you to help your young athlete achieve his or her potential, while keeping them on an even keel emotionally.
