Coaches, building mental toughness isn’t a one-time thing—it's something you need to work on every day, especially in practice. In this video, I’m sharing three effective drills that will help your athletes develop focus, resilience, and the drive to compete at their highest level. These drills are perfect for high school and middle school athletes who need that extra edge.
 
🎯 Learn:
✔️ How to optimize pre-practice to get athletes in the right mindset
✔️ The power of a competitive cauldron system to foster mental toughness
✔️ Why you should create pressure situations in practice to simulate game stress
✔️ The mental training tools I use with my team to build focus and performance
 
🎙 I'm Coach Bre  mental performance coach for girl athletes, co-founder of The Elite Competitor, and four-time state championship-winning volleyball coach. I’ve made every coaching mistake in the book when it comes to pressure, and I’ve learned how to turn those into powerful, practical tools any coach can use to build mentally tough teams.
 
In this video, I also give a shoutout to Coach Tom, who successfully implemented our Plug & Play Elite Mental Game with his volleyball team, seeing amazing results!
