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
