Summer Prep for Athletes


June Newsletter

As the summer approaches, athletes have a unique opportunity to focus on their training without the pressures of school and other academic responsibilities. To make the most of this time, it’s crucial to set clear, achievable goals. Start by identifying specific areas where you want to improve, whether it's mastering a new skill, refining technique/form, or enhancing overall physical conditioning. Break these goals down into smaller, manageable steps and create a detailed training schedule that includes rest periods, and cross-training activities to build strength and flexibility. Consistency is key, so sticking to this schedule will ensure steady progress throughout the summer months.


In addition to physical training, mental preparation plays a vital role in making summer training productive. Implementing mental skills such as visualization, positive self-talk, and cognitive reframing will significantly enhance performance. Visualization will assist in learning new skills, perfecting technique, and will also speed up how quickly the athlete progresses. Positive self-talk can help build a resilient mindset and cognitive reframing is necessary to make the most of every opportunity. Combining these mental strategies with your physical training will create a holistic approach, allowing you to achieve your summer goals and return to competition season stronger and more confident than ever!

ATTENTION GYMNASTS & DANCERS!!!

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 - its 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. For more info, you can click on either of the logos above or the button below.


Quick Reminders

Scheduling:

Please remember that you are responsible for scheduling your child's coaching sessions. Sessions can be scheduled via the online portal.

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!
