In this sports psychology video, I discuss why athletes quit sports and the right and wrong reasons to quit:
Here’s the question of the week:
“I’m playing soccer and I’m thinking about quitting because I am literally the worst one on the team. I tried to tell my parents that I don’t want to play soccer anymore, but they just kept me in. I think it’s stupid to keep playing for their enjoyment. What should I do?”
Watch the video now to learn what you should do when you or your athletes feel like quitting your sport. What are the right and wrong reasons to stop playing sports?

The Confident Athlete
“The Confident Athlete” consists of 2 audio programs that include 14 days of confidence fueling exercises and a simple to follow workbook that guides you through the 14 days, helps you apply the strategies, and customizes the exercises to your personal needs.
Let me help you put a stop to the confidence leak. You can learn to have greater levels of confidence in competition than you do in practice by identifying the specific ways you undermine your own confidence and how to convert your practice confidence into COMPETITIVE CONFIDENCE.
“The Confident Athlete” is a ground-breaking system to teach you how to think like a champion and have ultimate self-confidence every time you step on the playing field, court, track, or course. The confident athletes was developed for any athlete – junior to professional –that wants to gain confidence. However, coaches and sports parents can learn how to teach others to perform with ultimate confidence. Use my program if you want to bust a slump or just wanting higher or more consistent levels of self-confidence.
