In the 5th episode, you will learn it&apos;s easy to educate athletes and coaches on the signs of nervousness and fear - these early emotions and physical reactions (stomach aches, thoughts racing, feeling overwhelmed) are the heart of where mental blocks begin. <br/><br/>Talking about fear and mental blocks can normalize these challenges, and prepare kids to notice their thoughts and feelings. Catch it early. Be in tune with yourself, and learn how to FEEL SAFE and IN CONTROL. That&apos;s the key! <br/><br/>If a gymnast has positive support from their coaches and parents, anyone can overcome a mental block, you just need time, a good mental trainer, and lots of mental practice. <br/><br/>For those seeking help with fear and mental blocks - feel free to reach <b>Coach Lisa Mitzel</b> at zentigermind@gmail.com <br/>For more tips, follow Coach Lisa&apos;s instagram: @mitzel_coach  <br/><br/>Thanks to our sponsor <b>Zen Tiger Mind</b> for mental health products &amp; curriculum!<br/>Your kids will love our cute characters - Zen, Aura, Athena, and Oz.<br/>For the <b>Mental Power Station ~ </b>Check our <a href='https://zentigermind.com/store/'>online store HERE</a> and you can follow <a href='https://www.instagram.com/zentigermind/'>ZTM on instagram.</a><br/><br/>Thank you for being here!</p><p><b>Find us on Instagram:</b> @conditioned_to_win_podcast <br/><b>Follow the host, Lisa Mitzel on Instagram:</b> @lisa.mentalperformance          <b>Follow our sponsor:</b> @zentigermind </p><p><b>Our Home webpage</b> <b>is  </b><a href='https://www.lisamitzel.com/conditioned-to-win-podcast/'><b>LisaMitzel.com/conditioned-to-win-podcast</b></a><br/><b>Find our show </b>on Spotify, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Amazon Music</p><p>This is your journey to guide yourself toward transformation and to promote mental health for every child ~ I’m Sending you good vibes, deep breaths, and peace. </p>]]></content:encoded>
