Confidence isn’t just something you have—it’s something you build! I want to share three confidence-building strategies that will help you perform your best under pressure.
1. Build self-belief by recalling past successes.
One of the quickest ways to boost confidence is to reflect on a time when you performed well. Remember when everything just clicked—the movements felt natural, and you finished feeling proud. When doubts creep in, mentally replay that moment like a highlight reel to remind yourself what you’re capable of.
2. Focus on what you can control.
It’s easy to get caught up in scores, rankings, or how tough the competition is. But the best athletes know that confidence comes from focusing on what they can control: their effort, their mindset, and their attitude.
- Instead of worrying about things outside your control, shift your attention to:
- Giving your best effort and focusing on HOW to accomplish your performance goals.
- Staying present/in the moment and trusting your training.
- Using skills to manage emotions & stress levels.
3. Track small wins for big results.
Confidence isn’t built in one day—it’s built over time. That’s why keeping track of your progress is so important. Daily check ins are a great way to recognize small victories, reflect on challenges, and remind yourself how far you’ve come.
I’ve created a downloadable “Daily Check-In” Freebie to help you with this! This simple tool will guide you through quick reflections that reinforce confidence and focus. Be sure to download it and make it part of your daily routine!

CALLING ALL DANCERS — FREE MASTERCLASS!
How many of you would agree that it’s important to think positively??
And how many of you have felt disappointed (and maybe a little irritated) because telling yourself “I can do it!” didn’t actually make a difference?
Been there, done that!
That’s why I created my FREE Masterclass - 3 reasons why being positive is NOT helping your performance, and how to have the best run of your variation on stage...
JUST IN TIME FOR COMPETITION SEASON
In this masterclass, I share my take on perfectionism, 3 reasons why being positive is NOT helping your performance, and 3 ways to effectively improve your performance!
Quick Reminders
Scheduling:
Please remember that you are responsible for scheduling your child's coaching sessions. Sessions can be scheduled via the online portal. In the effort of making this coaching as beneficial as possible, please note that the sessions should be one-on-one between the athlete & Emily. We love parents! However, athletes speak more freely with an outside/3rd party which leads to more beneficial coaching.
Lastly, please try as best as you can not to schedule sessions when in the car. As convenient as it might sound to schedule the session on the way to rehearsal or practice, more often than not this causes video calls to cut in and out (or freezing) which results in a lot of wasted time. Again, we want this coaching to be as beneficial as possible, and malfunctioning video calls take time away from the session.
Online Portal:
The online portal is where you will be able to schedule sessions and download/share documents as needed. Please bookmark this link (you can also find in on the CMC website): https://championmindsetconsulting.clientsecure.me/
You can also download the free app (for iPhones AND for Androids) for even easier access to scheduling.
Cancellation Policy:
I don't experience late cancellations often (and for that I am very grateful to you all!), but every once in a while it does happen. Because this takes away a spot from other athletes who would've liked to get in, we will be enforcing the cancellation policy which states that any session cancelled less than 24 hours ahead of time is subject to a $25 fee. I completely understand that sometimes things happen that are beyond your control, so in these situations please reach out.
Waiting/Cancellation List:
If you are trying to schedule your athlete and the day/time you want is taken, please reach out to me and I will put you on a cancellation list for that particular day/time. If a cancellation occurs, I will contact you first to see if you'd still like that spot!
For dancers & gymnasts who are committed to achieving their goals, mastering mental skills such as cognitive reframing, relaxation exercises, emotion control, visualization, and empowering self-talk is not just beneficial - it’s CRITICAL.
Our online training programs teach the same mental skills that are taught during one-on-one sessions in a step-by-step format. They walk the athlete through the learning and practicing of the skills, how to implement the skills in practice, class, rehearsal, competition, etc., how to piece together a pre-performance routine for peak performance, and so much more!
These online training programs are available on their own for those who wish to work independently, as well as in bundles for those who prefer to add one-on-one coaching sessions! Athletes receive lifetime access to the program and can review skills whenever they need. These all-inclusive bundles are our most cost-effective & convenient options for gymnasts and dancers who wish to begin mental performance coaching.
