Kathy Feinstein is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Sport Performance Consultant. Since 1998, Kathy's unique practice has empowered children, adolescents, adults, couples, families, and teams to achieve greater satisfaction in sport, health, and life. She joins us today to challenge sport parents (and parents in general) on the notion that perfectionism can be helpful or beneficial. We discuss how to recognize and respond effectively, should our children develop or currently experience perfectionistic tendencies. Kathy encourages parents to become aware of how our beliefs about our own performance may influence how we parent “performers”. Be sure to listen and share this episode!

On this episode we speak with Sports Performance Consultant, Kathy Feinstein about her experience with both counseling children and their parents through sports performance anxiety, while also diving into how adults deal with transition and adversity in their lives.  Kathy leans on 2 decades of experience within the mental health field to provide a deeper understanding on the power of building relationships, the importance of embracing change, and how we can all focus on becoming the best version of ourselves through therapy. This episode highlights many components of mental health and self care, and I encourage anyone listening who is struggling to listen to the messages here and either reach out to myself or a working professional like Kathy!

To parent a peak performer, you have to be a peak performer. - Kathy Feinstein Throughout our four seasons you've heard what it means and what it takes to be a peak performing sport parent. Here are some of the top take aways:   Parenting a peak performer means being a good listener, listening to what your athlete is saying as well as what he or she is not saying.  It's about asking thoughtful questions. It means bringing positive energy, leadership, and perspective to every situation including the sidelines. Parenting a peak performer means allowing your athlete to own his or her sport, embracing failure with a growth mindset, and keeping perspective or parenting with the end in mind.  Afterall, sports provide a vehicle for raising successful athletes and ultimately healthy and successful adults. The final take away and something you'll hear me say time and time again: To parent a peak performer you have to be a peak performer.  In other words be willing to do what you ask your athletes to do.   Along with the recap this is a perfect time to thank everyone who has made this podcast a success.  I want to express my sincerest gratitude to each and every one of my guests.  They have brought a wealth of knowledge and been so generous with their time.  I also want to thank my production team for bringing such high quality shows week after week.  And finally I want to thank you!

What if... Breathing is all about the present. If you can do this 20 minutes per day, it changes your mindset When you inhale, there will be a cool sensation at the tip of your nostrils. When you exhale, there is a warm sensation at the tip of your nostrils. When you do this, you will start having some thoughts. Without any judgement, bring your focus back to the breath. Do this over and over again. Do this for 5 minutes with your team, your coaches, your players, etc. Recovery routines Having a discharge routine - if you are upset about something, have a quick discharge routine to flush away the past. Then have a different re-focus routine that gets you back in the moment and focused on the future. Growth Mindset Encourage kids to take risks, risk making mistakes. Mistakes are an opportunity to get better. Confidence inventory Have kids make a list of all of their accomplishments. Then have them read it before a performance. Post-competition routine After routines, write down what you did well, then add 1 or 2 things you want to do better next time Visualization You have to train how to visualize: Have the athlete do a simple activity (touch your toes and and jump in the air.) Then have them close their eyes and visualize doing that same activity. The more vivid the visualization is, the more effective it is. Try to involve as many senses as possible Visualization exercise:  Imagery Exercise - KAF The one that got away Kathy had a presentation that went bad and she got stuck. She learned a new way to prepare for presentations, where she focuses on the audience and their needs.

"My child could never be caught up in something like that." We've all thought it. Surely the parent KNEW something was wrong! With the current #metoo movement revealing story after story of abuse and molestation by coaches, trainers, doctors and others in the sporting world, the truth is it's NOT always apparent. Mitch Abrams, a sport psychologist and the nation's expert in anger and violence in sports, joins Kathy Feinstein to discuss this pressing issues for parents of sporting children and young adults. This is a serious conversation, not just for assurance that we're all doing the right thing, but to arm ourselves and each other with actionable takeaways. What to watch for, how to know when to intervene and the tactics used by the perpetrators, this episode is a MUST LISTEN for every sporting parent. The larger answer (in Mitch's estimation) is a broader conversation about masculinity, sexuality and consent. Arming our children with knowledge, emotional and social intelligence turns potential victims into empowered individuals and potential perpetrators into people with the vocabulary to seek the help they need. "If you have any coach that says 'I won't meet with the parents' you RUN. Run for the hills." - Mitch Abrams

If we agree there is music that is appropriate for playing in church, just what kind of music is that? This particular church service will include music by the Beatles, Jackie DeShannon, the Romantics, and others. “The Tim and Bob Show”, made up of Kathy & Steve Feinstein and Mary Lou & Don Hymel, is an award-winning Classic Rock cover band from San Antonio who have been making music together for many years, including at Unitarian Universalist churches. SMUUF folks who attended the WUUHOOs house concert at Marc & Laura Haygood’s home in Wimberley last May will recognize Kathy and Steve as the duo,“Fein Tuned”.
