Ultimate Sports Parent Radio

Last month I appeared on Ultimate Sports Parent Radio (www.youthsportspsychology.com): Helping Young Athletes Envision Who They Want to Be (click on Sept. 15, 2010 podcast or click here to listen). Hosts and youth sports experts Lisa Cohn and Dr. Patrick Cohn focus the show on the mental game.

Lisa and Dr. Cohn are the founders of The Ultimate Sports Parent (website) and Kids' Sports Psychology (a members-only website), which also center on the mental game. Both of these sites are terrific resources for sports parents and young athletes.

I feel like the mental aspect in youth sports is often overlooked. Many of us tend to get wrapped up in training and coaching and physical aspects in athletics. Yet the truth is that the mental game can often make or break an athlete.
