In today's episode, I dive into five essential, recurring issues that are wrecking youth athletes' performance and potential. This episode is a must-listen for both parents and athletes struggling with that "invisible block" between practice excellence and game-day performance.

Episode Highlights:

• Negative effects of not getting enough sleep
• Athletes are underfueling their bodies
• Free Macro Counter: bicepsafterbabies.com/setmymacros
• "Show me your calendar, and I'll show you my priorities
• Lack of mental skills
• The parent-athlete relationship

This week, we are re-airing our May mentorship call with Laurèn Schiek, retired softball player and podcast host. She explains how maintaining her identity in Christ rather than in softball outcomes allowed her to play fearlessly and persevere through injuries, coaching changes, and a life-changing diagnosis.

Episode Highlights:

• Emphasizes having identity rooted in faith rather than athletic performance
• Shares practical mental reset routines: breath work and physical cues
• Discusses the importance of showing confidence and composure
• Encourages athletes to master their craft through consistent extra work
• Highlights the value of playing with and against talented athletes to elevate your game
