POST GAME QUESTIONS TO EMPOWER YOUNG ATHLETES TO TAKE OWNERSHIP ON THEIR MENTAL GAME
Our "Rethink the Game" worksheet is designed for girls ages 9-16 to evaluate and reflect on their performance after each game. By answering questions like "What did you do well?" and "How can you work on this at home or practice?", young athletes develop awareness of their mindset, attitude, effort, performance, and teamwork. This worksheet encourages them to take ownership of their growth and fosters a proactive approach to improvement.
It’s the perfect complement to the Soccer Mindset Workbook, helping athletes turn every game into a valuable learning experience. Incorporate this as a post-game activity to build confidence, self-awareness, and a winning mindset!

I started my athletic journey at just 2 years old with gymnastics, later adding baton, softball, volleyball, and eventually competing in track in college. I became a national fitness champion and pro athlete. With experience coaching everyone from toddlers to professional athletes and formal training as a certified strength conditioning specialist, and health and physical education teacher, I’ve seen it all.
Throughout my journey, I heard a lot of “you can’t do that” and faced hurtful comments about my body. There were times I sat on the bench and dealt with injuries. But I learned that my belief in myself was the key to my success. What you think about yourself is the most important factor in achieving your dreams!
I’ve felt the same ups and downs you have. That’s why my mission is to empower girls and women to be courageous, pursue their passions, and go after their dreams unapologetically. With over 29 years of experience as an entrepreneur, personal trainer, health educator, coach, trauma survivor, and CEO, I’ve created a step-by-step formula to help girls and women feel their best, do their best, and be their best.
As a parent of two school-age girls in sports, I’m more passionate than ever about helping girls develop resilience, confidence, and skills that will serve them well today and in the future.
Empowered girls become fearless leaders who change the world.
