Staying Mentally Healthy w/ Carly, Alanna, and Shannon of SoccerGrlProbs
12/07/21 • 23 min
Today, I have the honor to interview Alanna, Shannon, and Carly of SoccerGrlProbs!
Alanna, Shannon, and Carly are all Long Island natives and former teammates on the Fairfield University Division 1 Women’s Soccer team. They now run the brand SoccerGrlProbs with a mission to support and encourage the well-being and positive self-image of young female athletes everywhere.
They aim to inspire the idea of a strong, confident, positive female athlete who is comfortable in her own skin and strive to empower young female athletes to build a strong inner foundation and have the confidence to proudly grow into the women they will become.
Through their lifestyle brand, they deliver authentic and original content as a means to establish a sense of unity and sisterhood in the female soccer community.
In this episode, we dive into how athletes can stay mentally healthy off the field/court so that they are thriving in their sport AND their lives.
We dive into:
👉The common issues athletes face that can cause overuse, burnout, and anxiety
👉Tangible ways that athletes can manage their health off the field/court so they are actually enjoying what they do
👉How athletes can start to listen to their bodies and minds rather than ignore themselves and "push through"
This episode is a must-listen for moms of female athletes who want a glimpse of what is going on inside their athlete's mind, and tangible ways to help her be a balanced, healthy athlete on and off the court/field!

What It Took To Win It All - Behind The Scenes w/ Breanne
For most coaches, winning a State Championship is a pipe dream.
While it is always something to strive for, it's not something that happens often.
So when Breanne and her volleyball team won State this past weekend, we had to sit down and go behind the scenes on what it really took to win it all!
Listen in as Kristina takes the mic to interview our very own Elite Performance coach - Breanne!
Breanne uncovers what her team did this season that most other teams didn't (and it made all the difference).
- Her pre-practice and pre-game routines that helped her athletes prepare mentally and physically for competition.
- How she prepared her team mentally for for the State Championship match.
- A couple key pivotal moments this season that made a huge impact on the outcome.
Plus, hear what she has to say about cliques, 'mean girls,' and how she handles playing time issues on her team!
Breanne is an inspiration as a coach, always focusing on building confidence in her players, developing relationships across her teams, and enabling players to play to their greatest potential.
