The Focused Sports Kid
“The Focused Sports Kid” is two programs in one. There’s a manual for parents/coaches, and a workbook for young athletes.
In addition to learning how to identify their distractions and deal with them, young athletes learn about how and why to focus on sports-specific “performance cues” that will help them feel more confident and excel in sports.
Parents/coaches also learn about these all-important performance cues and why they should help kids focus on them.
