The fastest way to kill confidence is not failure.
It is the moment your child thinks,
“I better not mess up again.”
That one thought shifts them from competing to protecting.
And once they are protecting… performance drops.
In this episode, we break down why kids lose confidence after mistakes and how parents can help them recover fast using a simple reset strategy.
If your child struggles after missing a kick, falling behind in points, or making a mistake in competition, this will help.
Inside this video:
• The difference between competing and protecting
• Why mistakes do not destroy confidence
• The real reason performance drops mid match
• The Three Rs reset tool
• How parents should respond in the moment
Kids do not lose confidence because they mess up.
They lose confidence because they do not know how to recover.
The good news… recovery is a skill. And it can be taught.
If this resonates with you, start using the Three Rs at home and at tournaments this week.
