The 7 Most Damaging Tips You Can Give Your Child Before A Race
Here's what I'd do if I wanted my girl to suffer from bad pre-race anxiety:
Tell her...
1) That she's very, VERY talented. And do it often!
2) To relax and just have fun! (oh yeeee, we've all been there. Backfires!)
3) You got this, you can PB!
4) I KNOW you can win this thing!
5) Just do what you practiced.
6) You're better than the others.
7) BONUS: I compare her to other age-groupers all day long (I see you parents 🙈)
Got any other terrible advice? Drop them below in the comment section.
