Summer is almost here — and while your kiddo is putting in reps on the field or court, are they training the part that can separate them from the rest?

Physical conditioning only gets them so far. The athletes who perform to their potential also train their minds.

Mind of a Champion teaches student athletes these critical skills — focus, confidence, visualization, and how to handle pressure.

Whether it's summer travel leagues or preparing for fall tryouts, the mental game makes the difference. Start building it now.

Struggling to see your progress?

You're not alone. When we're in constant problem-solving mode, it's easy to overlook how far we've come.

I recently learned a powerful two-question journal technique from Allison Fink's Mindset Mastery program:
1️⃣ What was my PROGRESS this week?
2️⃣ What was my CHALLENGE?

The magic happens when you do both:
→ Progress reminds you of momentum (even tiny wins count)
→ Challenge keeps you realistic and creative
→ Together, they build resilience and motivation

This isn't about toxic positivity. It's about seeing the full picture—your growth AND your obstacles.

Athletes use this in sports psychology. Students use it in school. Professionals use it at work.

It's simple. It's honest. And it works.

Watch the latest Mental Fitness Technique of the Week video to learn exactly how to use this method.

What progress have YOU made this week, no matter how small? Post it in the comments below.

Research in educational psychology shows that even moderate levels of test-related stress can impact student performance by 10-20 percentile points!

This is one of the main reasons why I created the "Stress Less for the Test" program.

This 2-hour, three-section course applies research-based concepts to help students reduce test-related stress and improve performance.

This program is especially helpful for high school students as they prepare for high pressure tests like the ACT, SAT and upcoming AP Exams.
