Picture this: your child nails every drill in practice, bursting with energy and skill. But come game day, the pressure hits, confidence dips, and that spark fades. It's heartbreaking, and you're not alone—countless parents face this with competitive young athletes in sports like basketball, soccer, or track.
Practice heroes often turn into game-time ghosts because mental toughness lags behind physical talent. Kids battle performance anxiety, second-guessing every move, or even losing their passion for the sport they once loved. You've scoured books, but most are geared toward pros or casual players, missing the mark for youth in high-stakes competition. Sound familiar?
Enter Troy Horne's guide, born from real trials with his own son and exclusive podcast interviews with icons like Kobe Bryant, Chauncey Billups, and Jason Richardson. No fluff—just eight targeted, 5-minute mindset exercises tailored for kids and teens. These routines draw from what actually worked for elite athletes, adapted for young minds.
Each exercise builds focus, resilience, and poise under pressure. Kids learn to quiet nerves before tip-off, bounce back from mistakes, and stay locked in when it counts. Parents report sharper in-game decisions, renewed joy in playing, and that elusive consistency from practice to performance. It's not magic; it's proven mental conditioning you can weave into daily life.
Perfect for busy schedules—these take just five minutes. Try a breathing reset before school sports, visualization on car rides to games, or a quick affirmation huddle post-loss. Use them solo, as family rituals, or before big tournaments. Track progress over weeks, and watch anxiety melt away while love for the game reignites.
Grab this Kindle edition today and equip your young athlete with the mental tools pros swear by. No more sidelines frustration—just proud cheers for a tougher, happier competitor.
