May is Mental Health Awareness Month:
In this week's episode, I share a parent workshop from 2023 with Alex (Madsen) Hinger, LMHP. We discussed the importance of mental health on and off the field for players and parents!
• Breathing techniques provide immediate anxiety regulation
• Reframing thoughts provides productive thinking
• Guided meditation grounds athletes in the present moment
• Sleep hygiene is vital for mental health
• Positive reinforcement from parents builds the self-esteem buffer
