Watching your daughter beat herself up after a mistake is heartbreaking. You know she’s capable of more, but that one play…that one error…sends her into a spiral.

In this episode, I’m walking you through the exact skill your daughter needs so she can bounce back faster; not just for her confidence, but for her performance. This is one of the first tools we teach inside The Elite Mental Game for a reason. It’s a game-changer.

If your daughter tends to get stuck in her head after mistakes, this one’s for you.

What we cover:

✔ Why your daughter struggles to “just shake it off” (and what’s really happening in her brain).
✔ The 3-part SNAP method that helps her move through mistakes in seconds.
✔ The real reason she freezes or shuts down and how to help.
✔ What competitive athletes know about mistakes that most don’t.

Listen to the full episode to hear how you can help your daughter stop spiraling after mistakes and start showing up with calm, steady confidence, no matter what the game throws at her.

Episode Highlights: 

[00:00:00] Setting the Stage for Summer Confidence. Part two kicks off with the one skill your daughter needs to recover quickly after mistakes so she can stay confident and keep competing.

[00:01:24] Why This Matters: Mistakes Aren’t Going Anywhere. Mistakes are part of the game, and life. We’re talking about how your daughter can learn to handle them without getting stuck.

[00:03:44] The First Skill We Teach Inside EMG. Athletes inside our program learn this recovery skill first, because it lays the foundation for everything else they’ll build..

[00:05:44] Why the “Just Shake It Off” Advice Doesn’t Work. When her nervous system is in fight-or-flight, your daughter can’t just let it go. Here’s what’s really going on.

[00:08:00] The SNAP Framework: Mindset + Triggers + Routine. The SNAP process gives athletes a simple system to reset. First, they shift their mindset; confident athletes know mistakes are part of growth. Next, they get clear on what usually triggers them and prepare for it ahead of time. And finally, they build a snapback routine that includes a calming breath, a reset word, and a grounding movement. It’s short, specific, and helps them return to flow, fast.

[00:10:11] What the Snapback Routine Looks Like. From breathwork to sock pulls to custom reset words, this routine is personal and practiced—so they can use it when it counts.

[00:12:42] From the Court to the Classroom. This skill isn’t just for sports; athletes are using it to handle tests, nerves, and social situations, too.

[00:13:47] What’s Coming Next in the Series. Next episode: how to help your daughter flip her negative thoughts and stop tearing herself down after games.
