How to Guide Young and Intense Athletes

DR. PATRICK J. COHN
About this episode

In this sports psychology podcast, Dr. Cohn helps parents understand proper guidance for a young and intense athlete in the right manner. Here is the question, Dr. Cohn answers in this episode:

Missy: I have a 13-year-old daughter, Soccer is her passion. She is super motivated, dedicated, and passionate. How to make sure I am guiding this intense young athlete in the right manner... she's so driven and does this all on her own but I'm afraid of doing her a disservice by not knowing how to navigate the complex world of club sports and give her any competitive edge we can. Or do we, as parents, just sit back and let things unfold as they will. Or perhaps as parents, there is nothing we can really do, it's something she needs to figure out?

Dr. Patrick Cohn is a master mental game coach who works with junior to professional athletes at Peak Performance Sports, LLC. ​​​ Improve your mindset for sports with mental training for athletes.
