درباره این اپیزود
In sports, it’s easy for athletes to get caught in the past or lost in what’s coming next. But their best performance happens when they’re fully present.
Staying present isn’t just about focus; it’s about learning how to tune into the moment, let go of distractions, and trust their training. And one of the most effective ways to build that skill is through mindfulness.
In this episode of the Parent Power Huddle, Jess Hanson, Certified Mental Performance Consultant and founder of Cognelite, explores how parents and coaches can help athletes develop the mental skill of presence—so they can stay locked in, bounce back quickly, and find more joy in the game.

Whether your athlete tends to overthink, fixate on mistakes, or feel pressure to be perfect, this episode will give you tangible ways to help them reset, refocus, and return to what matters most: the moment they’re in.
