My teenage daughter is very serious about her sport but could really use some training with the mental game. Are there any sports psychologists in the Kingwood area you know to be effective with teen athletes? 4951

@HollyHobby:
 
That sounds expensive. Why not work with a coach? What types of "issues" is she having and what sport? 4951

@allymansfield:  Coach is very good but also not American, so there are communication issues. She's a rower, as I think you were. She's very determined and dedicated but as a perfectionist, that sometimes works against her. I think all she needs is maybe a mental routine to go through prior to competitions, strategies to stay focused. She's the captain of the girls team and takes it very seriously. She can take things too seriously, though.

Go through the Naruto pep talk.I will be the best.  Nobody will stop me.  I will fight with everything I have.  I will fight with my hands.  If they rip off my arms I will fight with my legs.  If they rip off my legs I will bite.  If they rip off my jaw I will head butt them.  If they kill me I will haunt them into eternity. 4951

Try the Ironman Institute over at Memorial Hermann- I think there's one in The Woodlands. They do sports injury, rehab and sports injury prevention and may be able to direct you to the right place.The mental game is at least half the battle. I had a mental block about riding lig distances. It took me a couple of years to work through it. In the end it comes down to shutting down the negative self talk and putting positive mind over matter!!Good luck to your daughter. I think women athletes have more issues with their sports because when we go through puberty and our body changes we lose confidence - we have to deal with how different our bodies become. I know it was a real issue for me!! I was a tomboy and man it really hurt to look so different and to be treated so different . 4951

@hollyhobby, I would try to find a mentor; either in her sport or another. I think a sports psychologist is going to be expensive and a load of BS. She needs someone to look up to, not a psychologist. That's my two sense. 4951

@allymansfield: You are so correct. My daughter is in basketball and she went to several camps over the last few years including the spurs camp and some of the coaches were Spurs players such as Danny Green and Tony parker and former Spurs players such as Iceman Irving. These guys give their prep talk and motivates them. I see a big improvement in her skills. My daughter also likes target shooting and recently we met some celebrity shooting personalities like Theresa Vail and she gave my daughter tips.
