Travis Rogers is a mental performance coach and author of Parenting Athletic Kids. Host Todd Arkell discusses with Travis the common mistakes parents make in youth sports and how to correct them. Travis emphasizes the importance of not adding pressure to youth athletics and focusing too much on outcomes and results. Instead, parents should encourage their children to be present in every moment and enjoy the game. Rogers also talks about the role of parents in keeping their children focused on their goals without being overbearing. He highlights the significance of character development and intrinsic motivation in youth sports. Finally, he discusses the importance of detaching performance from self-image and focusing on the things athletes can control. The conversation explores the concept of being in the zone or in flow state in sports, specifically in baseball. It discusses the importance of routines, focus, and mental preparation in achieving optimal performance. A process that emphasizes the need for athletes to drown out the noise and be present in the moment. The conversation also touches on the significance of self-reflection, journaling, and setting goals. Travis shares personal experiences (as a father of two Division 1 baseball athletes) and offers advice for young players to improve their daily lives and become more mindful.
