Real Wins in Youth Sports with Dr. Carla Caturia

In this episode of Raising Men, host Shaun Dawson sits down with Dr. Carla Caturia, elite mental performance coach and founder of The House of RISE. She's back for a short follow-up on helping young athletes handle pressure, and it starts with her own story. Carla played varsity basketball, and her dad had coached her since she was born. When a younger, better teammate arrived, the pressure from her coach, her dad and herself got to be too much, and she quit. Today she teaches kids the tools she never had. First, notice what your inner critic is saying. Then get back to neutral after a mistake by simply observing the shot. Shaun shares how that same detachment turned golf from a misery into a chess match for him. You'll walk away with a simple way to help your son judge himself less, enjoy the game more and count the real wins.
