FF FAQ
  • Am I the right fit for this group?
    You ARE the right fit if: You are at the end of your rope and your athlete is no longer receptive to your advice. You want to find new approaches that your athlete will actually listen to. You understand that unless your athlete handles their thoughts, feelings, emotions, they will stay stuck. You have an open mind and heart. You are NOT the right fit if: You think "suck it up princess" is good advice. You think Mental Toughness is about being physically tough. You think Mental Toughness Training is a waste of time and money. You aren’t willing to look in the mirror and see your blind spots.
  • How do I talk to Shawnee? What's the format?
    Post your questions, comments, problems in the private Facebook group and Shawnee will provide tailored advice within 24 hours. There is no limit to how often you post or how many questions you ask. You can also join her live, every month, via Zoom.
  • What is Mental Toughness?
    Mental Toughness includes the following: 1) Emotional Intelligence: sport teaches us NOT to listen to our thoughts and feelings (except the good ones). But what should your athlete do with the negative thoughts, the anxious and nervous feelings? What about the voice of self-doubt? Emotional Intelligence means your athlete acknowledges, understands and manages their thoughts and feelings. 2) Courage: It's different than confidence. Confidence is an emotion, based on results. Courage is an action; it's a choice. Your athlete can choose to do something courageous even when they lack confidence. Sport is a series of storms, and most of them are emotional. Emotional Intelligence + Courage will help your athlete manage the thunder and lightning and save themselves from the storms that sport (and life) always bring.
  • Do I have to sign a contract?
    NO! No contract, no penalties for cancelling your membership. NO FINE PRINT. NO STRINGS ATTACHED. And you can rejoin anytime.
  • What questions can I ask Shawnee?
    Here are examples of questions that parents ask: How do I help my kids compete harder and play with more confidence? How do I help them handle pressure? How do I help them handle a coach that yells, lectures, and punishes? How do I help them handle sitting on the bench? How do I help them handle mistakes, setbacks, and failures? How do I handle the stress I feel when I'm watching my kids compete? What should I say/not say in the car ride home? What should I say/not say before an important game or competition? What should I say/not say when I see my kids struggling? The goal is to equip you to support your athlete along their journey. Shawnee is here to help and support, and is open to all your questions.
  • When are the Zoom calls and how long are they?
    Group Zoom calls are scheduled the last Sunday of every month at 5:30 pm PST/8:30 EST. Calls are scheduled for 60 minutes but Shawnee stays on the calls for as long as it takes to deliver what is needed. During the calls, you can come and go as you please. All calls are recorded and you have 24/7 access to the recording in the Facebook group.
