Description

As a parent, you want to support your basketball player—not add pressure, confusion, or stress. Basketball is a high-paced, emotionally demanding sport, and without realizing it, even the most well-intentioned parents can accidentally contribute to frustration, worry, or burnout.

The Basketball Parent Mental Toughness Package gives you the complete toolkit to understand what your athlete truly needs—mentally, emotionally, and physiologically—so they can play with confidence, resilience, and joy.

This collection brings together Dr. G’s foundational mental toughness teachings, his signature training for parents and coaches, and the breakthrough tools that help athletes move through slumps, fear, pressure, and performance blocks. You’ll learn exactly how to support your child in a way that strengthens their confidence rather than shakes it—on the field and at home.

If you’ve ever wondered what to say after a tough game, how to help your child through a slump, or how to play your role without adding pressure, this is the complete guide you’ve been looking for.

What You’ll Learn

With the Basketball Parent Package, you’ll discover how to:

Understand and play your role effectively on the parent–athlete–coach team
Support your athlete through missed shots, tough losses, or confidence dips.
Communicate in ways that build trust, motivation, and resilience—not tension.
Apply the 7 Principles of Peak Performance to help your child stay confident and composed.
Help your athlete break out of slumps or work through fear-based performance blocks.
Recognize how stress, nerves, and perfectionism show up in basketball and how to help your child manage them.
Prevent burnout and protect your child’s long-term love of the sport.
Teach your athlete to embrace nerves (“the juice”) as fuel instead of fear.
Learn what to say on the car ride home.

The Bottom Line

The Basketball Parent Package gives you the tools to support your athlete’s confidence, resilience, and performance—in a way that strengthens your relationship and makes the sport more enjoyable for both of you.

You’ll learn what to say, what not to say, and how to help your child handle nerves, mistakes, pressure, and frustrations with calm and composure.

This is how you help your basketball player develop the mind of a champion—while keeping their love for the game alive.

Testimonials

A real breakthrough book for athletes! Having been frustrated using traditional cognitive-behavioral approaches with athletes experiencing freezing, choking or the yips, this book packs in all of the information you need to make a wonderful impact with athletes suffering from these recurrent sports performance issues. I was able to put the breakthrough therapy of `brainspotting’ to immediate use with my clients and the results were spectacular! I would highly recommend this book and its techniques to all practitioners who work with athletes. You will be thrilled with your results. But that’s not all. The authors wrote this book so that athletes could also benefit. They carefully put together treatment strategies that athletes can employ even without a therapist. I recommend this not just for therapists who work with athletes, but for athletes themselves!

I want to let you know how much I enjoy and respect your series, “14 Steps.” I coach a small high school and your program not only helped my team play better under pressure, it significantly helped my 17 year old daughter who’s a three sport athlete. She used to think too much and get too nervous going into games. Now she plays the way she practices, relaxed and aggressively. Thanks for your product.

Gail

B. has improved a lot on the basketball court since she started using your audio program! The change in her confidence, aggressiveness and focus has taken her game to a higher level. Most of all we are most happy to see that our daughter is once again having fun playing ball! Thanks so much

Basketball Parents

Your new program has really helped both of my kids even though they are in different sports! My daughter used to get too nervous before she played and she told me how much more relaxed and focused she feels now and I can see it in her level of confidence and success on the field. My son had a long history of doing better in practice than competition, leaving him frustrated and us not knowing how to help him. What a difference I see in him now when he competes under pressure. Thanks so much — you’re a great teacher!

Parent

I’ve been coaching 20 years and this is one of the most versatile mental toughness training sets I’ve run across. It’s loaded with great exercises and stories that really work. I strongly recommend it to all my athletes.

Dennis

Coach G, Thanks for the downloads. I absolutely love the content. You have opened my kids eyes and I have seen the difference immediately in their smiles and improved play. What a gift!

Kris R

I’ve downloaded your 14 Steps and have been listening to them with my son. It is having a very positive impact on both of us! I am so grateful that I discovered your work

Micheal

Dr. G, You did a GREAT job with 14 Steps. I can’t tell you how much it has helped me relax and focus! My congrats and sincere thanks

Gianluca

Thanks so much! I finally learned how to get my parents on the same page that I’m on. They’re actually helping me now! Go Figure! It has made things so much much easier for me to do my job. I think this is a critically important book for coaches in any sport.

Jack

I just love your new book! Parents on my team were driving me nuts and making me really angry, getting in the way of me doing a decent job of coaching. This book has helped me get things in perspective and to recruit my parents to help me! I feel like I now have a much better understanding of where they’re coming from and how to effectively work with them. Thank you! Thank you! I won’t quit coaching after all!

John B

I was listening to your “Parents” audio today on my drive and I have to say it opened my eyes! Especially the part where you talk about “good” and “bad” nervous. What a life skills gift to teach parents how to teach their kids how to roll with the “juice” that naturally comes up as you’re about to perform! The “Juice” is normal, it is what will fuel you. Don’t fear “The Juice” embrace it. Such a great audio! Thank you.

Wesley

This is a GREAT tool to use with any sport parents. I had the parents on my team listen to it in one of our meetings and I couldn’t believe the response. It opened their eyes. Doc, you have such a great way of presenting things. Your humor makes parents willing to listen to all the things they’ve been doing wrong and what they need to do to change without getting defensive. Bless you.

Ray B

Dr. G’s program has been a wonderful addition to my coaching. It has helped me train my athletes so that they consistently come through under pressure. The stories and exercises are easy to listen to and powerful and this program has become a regular part of my overall coaching.

Dan Hart

Alan, What I REALLY like about your audio series and workbook is that you take athletes through the exercises and personally teach them how to stay calm under pressure, relax the nights before big competitions and how to use visualization to improve performance. My kids love doing the relaxation exercises although they sometimes chuckle at your extreme Boston accent! Thanks for a great training tool!

Ed

Dr. G, I was very impressed with your techniques for learning concentration and focus as well as producing written goals that can be converted into results. Most importantly you developed great systems for brushing off the Uncontrollables. Thank you so much for such a helpful training tool!

Colorado

I was cut from my high school team last season because I was too tentative and intimidated by the other girls. I felt like a total failure. I wanted to quit and then my mom found your…book. After working with it, I got really motivated to start working with a trainer all spring and summer and now I’m looking forward to tryouts. My confidence and intensity are back, my game has improved and I am now mentally tougher than ever. Thank you!

Carly

Dr. G, I just finished reading This is Your Brain On Sports and I absolutely loved it! It opened my eyes to what really causes athletes to fall apart and it will help me be more effective with my players!

Frank

An eye opening approach to working with athletes. As a former athlete and current coach this book has opened my eyes to outside factors that can truly have a very debilitating effect on the performance of athletes. The challenges of sport require mind and body to be in sync and athletes may experience the ripples of underlying problems coming out in their play that may have no relation to sport, and may not have happened recently. The authors have found a new approach to understanding and treating the most unreachable athletes. I suggest this book for any counselor, coach, teacher, parent and or athlete that may be looking for answers as to “Why?”. It’s all relevant when it comes to life experiences and this book explains why sport is no exception.

Amazon Reviewer

I purchased your Competitive Edge for basketball last Christmas. The results were stunningly good! As a parent and Coach, I firmly believe in reading and experiencing what the kids are receiving in order that I can answer their questions and understand what they are trying to do. I have to say your program is first rate!

Will

Amazing Book! Purchased this book for my husband and once he started reading the book, he couldn’t put it down. He said it was fascinating and so “spot on”. My husband played professional ball and my son is currently at a Div I college playing ball. My husband said that if he knew what this book speaks of back when he played pro ball, he would have had a longer pro career. Every athlete, coach, and parent (especially father) of an athlete will benefit from reading this book
