Blog Tour and Giveaway: The Mental Edge for Young Athletes

Both of my boys have participated in competitive sports, and the mental aspect of competition plays a significant role in their success. It can be challenging for young athletes to stay positive and mentally resilient, especially during tough times. That’s why I’m thrilled to be part of the blog tour for family therapist and elite mental coach Jeff Greenwald’s book, The Mental Edge for Young Athletes. This book is an excellent resource for athletes, coaches, and parents, providing strategies to help children thrive mentally in their sports.

Publisher’s Book Summary: "The Mental Edge for Young Athletes is a practical, one-of-a-kind guide for athletes and their parents (includes a powerful parent guide) written by two-time world champion and elite mental coach Jeff Greenwald, MFT. A licensed psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience helping youth athletes and their families, Jeff shares real-world, proven tools to build confidence, manage performance anxiety, improve family dynamics, and reinforce your child’s new mental and emotional skills.

Through short, easy-to-read chapters, this guide brings real conversations with young athletes to life—along with inspiring stories and mindset strategies used by the world’s top competitors. Kids will learn how to bounce back from mistakes, stay focused under pressure, and compete with greater motivation, clarity, and resilience. There is also a parent’s guide with Jeff’s top recommendations on how you can successfully navigate the most challenging moments we face with our young athletes.

While many mental training books for kids offer surface-level advice or rigid checklists, The Mental Edge for Young Athletes goes deeper. It bridges the gap between theory and real-world application—bringing to life the mindset tools used by elite performers in a way that young athletes (and their parents) can truly relate to. With real stories, actionable techniques, and a compassionate voice, this book offers what most guides miss: authenticity, relevance, and lasting impact.

Whether you’re a parent supporting your child, a coach guiding your team, or a young athlete striving to succeed, this book will become an essential companion in both sport and life."
