Stop Telling Your Kid To Be Confident
The Most Misunderstood Word in Youth Sports and The Real Reason Your Kid Freezes When It CountsBy Christopher ZekRecorded TrackLength4h 27m
About this audiobook
Your kid is unstoppable in the driveway. Then the whistle blows, and they disappear.
Everyone has a word for what's missing. Confidence. It is the most misunderstood word in youth sports, and it is why nothing you've tried has worked.
Christopher Zek pitched professional baseball, a step from the big leagues, and spent thirty years as an electrical contractor. He looks at a frozen kid the way he'd look at a dark room with good wiring. The problem was never the bulb. Your child is a circuit with the skill already wired in, and a breaker is cutting the current before it reaches the moment. What trips it is load: everything they carry in that isn't the thing in front of them.
You cannot hand a kid confidence. It is the output, not the input. But you can lower the load, and this book shows you how. What to say on the ride home. What to stop saying from the stands. The tools your kid can run to when their head goes blank.
Nothing is broken in your kid. A breaker tripped.
