#44 Conversations for Coaches | Help your gymnasts learn to diffuse their negative emotions so they don't derail their progress

Hardships happen. Whether it’s just a tough practice, or your gymnast is dealing with a major setback, if your gymnast has the tools to understand their emotions they can set themselves up for a tremendous comeback. 

We’d all prefer to feel happy-go-lucky and positive emotions on the regular. But the truth is, we can’t experience positive emotions without having experienced negative ones as well. It’s a give-and-take. Emotions are simply a release of energy that is triggered by a thought in your brain. 

It’s tempting to push down our negative emotions because we don’t want to feel them. However, just like a beach ball being held underwater, eventually that ball will pop up with a vengeance. In this episode, Ali and Stacie talk about how to allow our feelings to exist and how to navigate through them in a healthy way so you can help your gymnasts do the same. 

We have courses and coaching programs for individual gymnasts and gymnastics teams that are based on proven behavioral science. And results that speak for themselves. Invest in the one thing that will have the greatest impact on your gym or your gymnast's success. Their mind.
