Episode 3: Mental Skills Every Parent, Teacher and Coach Should Master.
What if the biggest obstacle to your athlete’s performance isn’t talent, training, effort, or even skill?
What if it’s what they’re thinking?
This week on the Krush Summer Series, we go back to Krush Favorite, Dr. Jacques Dallaire of Performance Prime, and our discussion on his outstanding book: “Helping Kids Perform: Mental Skills Every Parent, Teacher and Coach Should Master.”
If your athlete is battling nerves, struggling with confidence, or “trying harder” without better results, this conversation is going to change how you support them.
We outline Dr. Dallaire’s “Performance Equation” and break down exactly how anxiety impacts performance, why more focus isn’t always the answer, and the practical tools you can use right now to help your child regulate their stress response, boost self‑esteem, and step into consistent, confident play.
This conversation goes far beyond sport.
The lessons Dr. Dallaire shares apply to school, life, relationships, leadership, and personal growth.
Perhaps most importantly, you’ll walk away with a better understanding of how the environment created by parents, coaches, and teachers shapes a young person’s confidence, resilience, and ability to perform under pressure.
This is one of the most important conversations we can have when it comes to supporting development and Creating More Coachable Players.
Join us All Summer as we help sports parents and coaches better understand athlete development so they can make smarter, more confident decisions for their athletes.
