Episode 008 - Sports psychology professor Dr. Lindsey Blom

  • Huge idea #1 - Imagery

-     Use an analogy like spaghetti noodles - if the child is nervous they may be stiff like uncooked noodles, but if they are relaxed they are loose like cooked noodles

-     Teaching a new skill - Have the child picture themself doing the new skill perfectly first, then have them go through the motion without a ball and picture success, then finally add the ball after the first two visualization steps

  • Huge idea #2 - Make each kid have a moment of success at each practice
