Raising Confident Girl Athletes: The Mental Game Every Parent Needs with Coach Breanne Smedley | Episode 213

What's the right thing to say before the game to build her confidence? What's the right thing to say after when she's beating herself up or crying? This episode changed everything for me and it will for you too!

I'm sitting down with Coach Bre Smedley, former college athlete and co-founder of The Elite Competitor, to talk about what it really takes to raise confident girl athletes (and this totally applies to boys too!) — the kind who can bounce back after mistakes, play free under pressure, and believe in themselves (no matter what the scoreboard says).

We're breaking down Bre's signature LOVE post-game framework, how to build a calming pre-game ritual that steadies the nerves, and why real confidence has nothing to do with perfection — and everything to do with self-trust.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• How Bre went from quitting before college to walking on — and earning a full-ride scholarship

• The quick quiz that gets athletes hooked on the mental game

• What to say (and what to skip) before and after games

• The LOVE framework that can totally change your car rides home

• Why your best role as a parent isn't "coach" — it's "calm, steady presence"
