If the physical game is good, then the mental game will be good, right? And if the athlete possesses confidence, isn't that all they need for a strong mental game anyway? The answer is a definitive "no" to the previous commonly asked questions. Focusing on the physical game or assuming confidence is all a player needs are not the answers for success. The mental game impacts the physical game at every turn¬¬¬¬; the mental drives the physical, not the other way around. A positive mental game sets the player up for emotional and physical growth--predecessors to enjoyment and longevity in sports. And the truth is, many parents and coaches fall short in effectively developing a youth's mental game. But let's face it, youth sports take up a considerable amount of time and money for most families. There isn't enough time or extra funds to hire that mental coach or sport psychologist. And most programs don't have money in the budget to hire a sport psychologist to aid the coaches. So, how do parents and coaches learn to correctly navigate a player's mental game? And how do they do it without stretching themselves and their kids with respect to scheduling, emotions, or finances? Beyond the Scoreboard is the answer: the tool at the ready to help parents and coaches navigate the all-important mental game. Dr. Nick has worked with athletes at all levels, including countless collegiate, professional, and Olympic athletes, to help them develop a strong mental game. And the one thing he never focuses on is confidence. Find out why and what you should be focusing on in Beyond the Scoreboard: an all-encompassing, 'how to' guide for parents and coaches.
