Overcoming Anxiety for Student-Athletes
Student-Athlete Series Book 2
“‘Tough it out’ isn’t a strategy—it’s a warning sign. Real mental toughness isn’t about
ignoring anxiety or brushing off mental health struggles; it’s about understanding, managing,
and using them to fuel performance.”
�� Award-Winning Book — Finalist in the 2025 Global Book Awards (Health: Counseling &
Psychology)
Your athlete is disciplined, hardworking, and passionate about their sport. But when the
pressure builds, self-doubt, fear of failure, and anxiety can hold them back more than any
physical opponent. They push through, but at what cost?
You want to help—but where do you start? Ignoring mental health won’t make it go away—so
how do we equip student-athletes with the tools to manage it and thrive under pressure?
As a sports psychology writer, former athlete, and parent of student-athletes, I understand
the unique pressures young competitors face. This book isn’t just theory—it’s a research-
backed, practical guide designed to help student-athletes manage anxiety, build confidence,
and develop mental resilience. With proven techniques used by elite athletes, parents and
coaches will gain the tools to support their athletes’ mental health while helping them perform
at their best—without burnout or fear holding them back.
Inside, You’ll Discover:
✅ 5-Step Strategy to Manage Performance Anxiety – Simple, science-backed techniques to
calm nerves before and during competition.
✅ Overcoming the Fear of Failure – Develop a growth mindset that turns mistakes into
learning opportunities.
✅ Essential Mental Health Tools – Help student-athletes balance academics, athletics, and
personal well-being without feeling overwhelmed.
✅ Strategies for Managing Setbacks & Injuries – Help student-athletes cope with challenges
and bounce back stronger.
✅ Real-Life Case Studies from Athletes & Coaches – Learn how top performers overcame
anxiety and built resilience.
✅ Communication Strategies for Parents & Coaches – Foster open, supportive conversations
that empower athletes rather than adding pressure.
✅ How to Recognize Early Signs of Stress & Burnout – Spot red flags before anxiety impacts
performance and well-being.
Will anxiety continue to control your student-athlete’s performance, or will they learn to
master it? The choice starts here.
