Raising an Athlete’s Mind

A complete guide for parents who want to build confidence, resilience and emotional strength in their child both in sport and in life.

This book blends real fatherhood experiences with the principles of sports psychology and child development. It gives you practical tools that you can apply immediately to support your child through pressure, mistakes, success and self discovery.

It is written by a father and coach who has lived through the highs and lows of raising two young athletes. From watching moments of doubt to rebuilding confidence. From helping them prepare before competition to guiding them through the emotional crash afterwards. Every chapter is built from real moments and real lessons that parents can relate to.

Inside the book you will find clear strategies that help your child grow mentally and emotionally. You will learn how to help them self regulate. How to build their inner voice.

How to guide them when they compare themselves to others. How to shape discipline without breaking confidence. How to build long term character.

There are thirteen chapters inside this book. Each chapter focuses on an essential part of mindset development for children between six and sixteen. Every chapter combines simple psychology, emotional understanding and practical tools that any parent can use at home, on the way to training or before competition.

Here is a look inside three of the chapters:

Chapter Three teaches you how to use micro wins to build confidence. You will learn how to help your child turn effort into belief using small achievable steps that build long term self trust.

Chapter Five shows you how to help your child regulate emotions during pressure. You will learn techniques that calm the body, settle the mind and stop small mistakes from becoming emotional spirals.

Chapter Ten helps you understand the balance between being a parent and being a coach. You will learn when to guide, when to step back and how to keep your bond strong while still supporting their development.

This book also includes visualisation methods, emotional reset routines, confidence building tools, pre game mental warm up guidance and post game reflection questions that help your child make sense of their performance.
