Meet Mackenzie. She's nine years old, a competitive swimmer, and our December Athlete of the Month inside the Elite Mental Game.
At her first swim meet after starting the program, she used her Snapback Routine for the very first time. She placed first in two events. Third in another. And dropped nearly 14 seconds in one event alone.
Her mom Sarah said she was blown away by Mackenzie's excitement, dedication, and commitment. In fact, Mackenzie asked for a journal so she could take notes on the Zoom calls.🏊♀️
In this episode, you'll hear:
✅ What Mackenzie said about her first time using the Snapback Routine
✅ Why mental skills matter even more in swimming (the clock doesn't lie)
✅ What Sarah noticed about her daughter's confidence before her next meet
✅ How mom and daughter worked through the program together
This is the shared transformation we talk about. When your daughter has the tools to reset quickly, she doesn't just swim faster. She believes in herself differently. And that's the whole point. 💛
