The term “anxious” is such a general term. Asking the question can cause anxiety in itself as they may find it difficult to answer it well. Overcoming anxiety is never simple or one and done. Some aspects that trigger feelings of anxiety get the most heightened only at certain times (the night before, etc) so they may not even clearly remember the trigger at the time of when they are being asked what is causing it. One way of combating it long term is to get them to write what they are feeling down WHILE they are feeling it. Once they have the list (as it’s usually the same reoccurring triggers) you can take some time with your child (even better with their coach) to debunk the ones that are false and to manage the ones that can’t be helped and they need to Manage. I just started my community called Maximising Performance where l’ll sharing some tools on how to help your child through some of this. This is a great question by the way @Jay Farmer. Thanks for sharing

I’m really excited about how I could use this platform to positively impact and educate more families about my area of expertise. Kinda unsure of where to start and how communicate what I know through this platform though. I run a Taekwondo school and am looking at creating a community that supports parents of athletes that offers education on the basics of every area as well as lives to support and offer answers to parents support their children through their development. Any recommendations on resources I can use to help me?
