Kids Who Can’t Cope with Mistakes

January 4, 2011 By Patrick Cohn

Does your young athlete have trouble coping with mistakes? Do your athletes check out during games because they can’t let go of mistakes? In fact, 35% of sports parents we surveyed said that their young athletes struggle with letting go of mistakes.

In order to be successful, your young athletes need to learn how to let go of mistakes and remain composed. If they can’t stay composed, they risk not playing up to their potential. Then one mistake snowballs into more mistakes, which snowballs into the fear of more missed goals, missed putts, turnovers, lost rebounds, and more bad performances.

Help kids’ kick perfectionism. Visit Sports Parents’ Top Dilemma to find out how.
