There's a specific kind of heartbreak that hits when your child doesn't get moved up to the next level, especially when all their friends do. You see it in their face. You feel it in the silence on the car ride home. And as a parent, you just want to fix it. You want to make it better; give them hope and tell them to keep pushing. But deep down, you might already know… this just isn't going to go the way they hoped.In this week's episode of the PerformHappy Podcast, I'm diving into this all-too-familiar scenario. Whether it's not moving up, not making the team, or falling short of a goal they've worked so hard for, disappointment is part of the journey—and it's one of the hardest parts to navigate.I'll share actionable tips to help you show up for your athlete in those tough moments—not with empty encouragement or forced positivity, but with presence, perspective, and support that actually helps them process what they're going through.

There are athletes who put in the effort and still feel stuck.In this episode, I unpack the common reasons why—even with all the best tools—some kids don't see results. And (spoiler alert), it's not because they're broken or lazy. A lot of the time, it has to do with what the adults in their life are doing (or not doing).If you're a parent or coach who's wondering why the mental training isn't translating into progress, I'll give you a quick overview of what might be getting in the way—and what to do about it.Listen in if you're ready to stop spinning your wheels and finally help your athlete get unstuck.In this episode, Coach Rebecca talks about:The Limitations of Mental Training.The Role of Parents and Coaches in Mental Training.The Impact of External Pressures on Mental Training.The Importance of Trust and Growth Mindset “Kids who stay stuck in fear long-term usually have a parent or coach issue behind it." - Rebecca SmithLearn exactly what to say and do to guide your athlete through a mental block with my new book "Parenting Through Mental Blocks" Order your copy today: https://a.co/d/g990BurFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/complete_performance/ Join my FaceBook page: https://www.facebook.com/completeperformancecoaching/ Check out my website: https://completeperformancecoaching.com/Write to me!

Do you know an athlete who's super bendy, always impressing with their flexibility, but constantly dealing with little injuries or pain that won't go away? In this week's PerformHappy Podcast, I sat down with chiropractor and hypermobility expert Dr. Taylor Goldberg to unpack exactly what's going on behind the scenes for these “Gumby-like” athletes.Dr. Goldberg shares her own journey as a high-level cheerleader—how being extra flexible wasn't always the gift it seemed—and what she wishes she had known back then.

Through extensive research and personal experience, Rebecca Woulfe has discovered the importance of raising children punishment-free. She has over 30 years of parenting experience having raised four daughters without using punishment to discipline. She shares her expertise through parenting workshops and her 'how to' book on the topic. In her book, The Gift of a Punishment-Free Childhood: A New Way to Parent for a New World, Rebecca provides evidence of how punishment not only negatively affects the parent-child relationship, but how it also Rebecca provides parents with specific examples of how to discipline children through teaching with a goal of showing them how to be good humans without resorting to punishment to control their behavior. She uses humor and a non-judgmental approach to support parents, and grandparents, to learn how to positively interact with children and teenagers. Rebecca empowers readers to trust their instincts, address each child's unique needs, and uncover solutions that work for each family. She provides practical guidance for each stage of development so whether you are parenting a toddler, tween, or teenager, you can apply Rebecca's techniques. The Gift of a Punishment-Free Childhood is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and can be ordered through most bookstores.
