The GO TO PODCAST for Sports Moms raising confident girl athletes! Elite Competitor Co-Founder Coach Breanne Smedley (AKA Coach Bre) is all about empowering moms with the tools they need to strengthen their athlete daughter's mental game so she believes in herself as much as you do (and plays like it!). Whether you're a sports mom with lots of seasons under your belt, just getting started on this sports journey, or somewhere in between... think of this podcast as your go-to guide to helping your daughter navigate the ups and downs of her sports journey. If you feel like you've tried everything to build your daughter's confidence and often don't know what to say to support her (especially when she's being super hard on herself), then you're in the right place. Coach Bre and her guests break it down into actionable strategies that WORK so that you never have to feel stuck not knowing what to say or how to help your athlete daughter again. Through what you learn on the Raising Elite Competitors Podcast, you can ensure that your daughter's mental game and confidence is her biggest strength... in sports AND life!

    What to say challenge
    Bre’s advice is so impactful but also simple and easy to implement. Three days in and I’m already seeing a difference in how my daughter is communicating with me about not only her game but also about all of the other challenges she faces in her day-to-day!
  • KatMMorg
    Like it but constant plugs for their program
    I really like this podcast. I think I would listen more if it didn’t seem like every episode had a plug for their mental elite program that you can buy. It’s at the beginning, during breaks and sometimes at the end of almost every episode. Otherwise, love!

    Encouraging
    I find Bre so encouraging to listen to. She helps me focus on what I as a mom can control. She has been such an encouragement these last few months as my daughter has walked through a time of discouragement and has been finding joy in her sport again.

    Theater Realm
    Happened upon Raising Elite Competitors and my first thought was that I wished I had had this type of training when I was in sports! Then my thoughts moved towards how to you this for my daughter who is in dance, theater and musical performance as well as my sports loving son. Definitely can see when change happens for Mom or Dad it affects all children no matter sex or activity! Thank you for sharing!!
  • Anharris915
    This has been amazing for my 10 year old!
    I was sent a podcast episode from a friend and was immediately hooked! My 10 year old had the skills but lacks the confidence during high pressure practices and games. I’ve already learned so much about things I, and she, can do to make her more confident in herself!
  • Og1311
    Love it!
    Love all the nuggets of wisdom that Coach Bre shares! I already put a lot of her advice into practice and have seen my daughter show up much more confidently than ever before in a recent tryout!
  • IšŸ’œ2sew
    Loving this!
    I don’t do podcasts, that’s my husband’s thing. But this one… I have subscribed to it and have been listening to everything! I am getting so many great tips for my athlete, myself, and even my husband. Such valuable information.
  • Lil bits mama
    Great!
    I stumbled upon this podcast on Instagram. What a great resource for our young girls!
  • Nvshell
    love but...
    i love this podcast great info but I sometimes feel like she's talking to a second grader, so much more of the information can be said, simply, and much less time. a busy Mom a busy sports mom I don't have time for all the excitement like there's a presentation to a puppy. I only say this because I do love these podcasts and they have a lot of great information but a lot of times I don't get through them because of stuff that's not being said
  • henieenrjenekes
    So much information !
    I have learned so many different ways to approach my perfectionist athlete , who is very hard on herself when she makes a mistake !
  • Jeanine Mouchawar
    Great resource!
    Thank you for having me on your podcast, Bre! I enjoyed helping your listeners know what to say and do to feel close to their daughter.
  • Useful guidance
    Fantastic resource!
    Bre does a great job covering the most relevant topics moms need to know in a warm, enthusiastic way. You’ll feel supported to help your daughter not only to be her best but also to handle the internal and external challenges of intense competition. Thank you coach Bre!
  • MNhappygirl
    A must podcast
    As a mom of a 3 sport athlete and a mom who has coached her daughter for years, I have benefited and as a mom and coach by gaining great insight to guide my daughter in her sports as well as life. This podcast has wonderful resources for me and my daughter! Love love love this podcast!
  • Ms Mary Fran
    So Much Value!
    We work in the same industry in terms of leadership, growth & development for teen girls & we’re so glad our path crossed with Bre’s. She is not only incredible + incredibly knowledgeable as she is in the work every single day, not just as a mom but as a coach & a small business owner. The information she shares is invaluable!
  • AAA in NOLA
    Amazing Resource
    As a mom to two girls, it’s hard to find something that’s targeted specifically to us. Raising girls is challenging, especially when they’re in competitive sports. This resource is so needed and I’m thankful I found it! Practical, informative and encouraging - feels accessible and not intimidating.
  • TrinaDeeG
    Interesting, Encouraging, Practical
    I listened to my first podcast today and took a page of notes! Great information-encouraging, tangible advice to guide my daughter in her college recruiting process. Thank you!
  • Mom to 4 unstoppable athletes
    Practical and performance driven
    The podcasts are not too long, a good listen and move along quickly. Guests are relevant and helpful. Tips and topics are practical- and while some may seem simple are still worth emphasizing and reinforcing. Most helpful for me has been the real-life examples of both what TO say and what NOT TO say.
  • SNSeley81
    Great info!
    Super helpful and relevant information for sports moms and dads!
  • LetLuvRul
    Critical, valuable info/skills and great format
    Love Coach Bre and all the information she shares each episode! Every show, she shares valuable insights for moms and athletes on so many common issues all of us face regardless of where we are on our journey! So many things hit home each time I listen and I don’t know what I’d do without this input and guidance!
  • Byronilover
    Practical and encouraging podcast
    Last year my daughters club volleyball coach suggested an episode from this podcast. Her coach had an amazing professional career and constantly refers to having a positive mindset when playing. We listened to the episode and we’re hooked!!! This podcast gives excellent and practical advice that really does work! My fourteen year old and I listen often when on our way to school in the mornings.
  • RocMason07
    Great Podcast!
    I’ve found these podcasts so helpful! I have 2 daughters competing at a level I never did as an athlete & I really appreciate all of the tips on how to best support them.
  • soccertracktwins
    Good info
    With twin athlete daughters, this is great information for helping them with their sports journey. Really happy I found it!
  • MyGirls#1Fan
    Insightful for parents of female athletes
    Beneficial information for helping my daughter develop as an athlete. Definitely provided insight on pre and post game interactions. Enjoy the special guests too.
  • Rizjk
    So thankful this exists!
    My daughter is actually just an average athlete. She used to love playing sports and now the joy seems to be just gone because of all the mental/mind stuff that happens. Her abilities are being masked by all of the anxiety, etc. I hope to help her break free of this so she can enjoy high school sports again. I’m excited I found this tool to help me! This podcast is really helpful even if your daughter is not an elite athlete!
  • Sdaisy1
    Great Information for Moms and even athletes themselves and sometimes dads too!
    I just wish I had started listening to this podcast sooner when my daughter was younger. She still struggles to this day with bouncing back from minor mistakes in games I’m excited to learn new ways to support her and help build her confidence through these podcasts! They are concise, clear and direct to the topic at hand!
  • JGuth3
    Awesome Info!
    I always get so much good, helpful information from these episodes. Coach Bre has such great and practical knowledge and advice. Just finished the episode on mean girls and can’t stop thinking about. Re-listening again and having my daughter listen to. So good!!

    Raising Unstoppable Girls Athletes series

  • Xtina_023
    Amazing
    One the best podcast for Moms and Athletes. So much helpful information and tools are being discussed! Just what I was looking for.
  • Allison d2
    Great podcast for encouraging young athletes
    As a mom supporting my daughter (and son) through multiple sports the information in this podcast is very helpful. I am positive by nature but knowing the right things to say at the right time has been great. I highly recommend this to other parents!
  • Cathy2515
    The elite competitor program
    I’m a 55 year old Mom to a 15 year old daughter and I’m learning so much for myself personally. She is my youngest and I thought I knew everything! I do know I’m her biggest influencer and with Kristina and Breanne on my side they are helping me get her in the right mindset.
  • Jennyjo72
    Love it all!!
    This podcast has so much helpful content! I’m learning how to be a more supportive and understanding sports mom which will help increase my daughter’s confidence.
  • B1C1K2
    Great podcast!
    Great info for parents of athletes. The episodes are just the right length and very spot on for raising young athletes in today’s competitive world.
  • Heavenly98226
    How to Handle mean girls- must listen to!
    Love this episode. It’s hard to not to step in, however having your daughterā€create her own pathā€ is soo important versus us mamas creating the path for her. This is a wonderful episode for learning all those tools- also good for her to listen with as well!!
  • VB mom 2026
    So helpful!
    My daughter and I went through the Elite Competitor program and having this podcast available to reinforce everything is so helpful for me to help support my athlete daughter. Thank you Coach Bre!
  • ShellyW44
    Great Podcast!
    I started listening to these podcasts in the car on my drives to my daughter’s school volleyball games. They were the perfect length and very helpful. Coach Bre has key points in each podcast that can be used immediately for both athletes and their moms. I loved these podcasts so much we signed up for the Elite Competitor Program to gain a deeper knowledge of the mental training in sports. Everything she says is spot on! I highly recommend these podcasts as well as the ECP program!
  • Linzmoftwo
    Empowering Information for parent and athlete!
    Content is spot on and episodes are just the right length to listen to during my commute and even when waiting to pick my girls up from practice. It translates to all female sports. The tools are practical and easy to follow. Would highly recommend the time to take a listen.
  • bctpeck

    Love it!

  • PC Fam
    Great Podcast
    Listened to the 3 mistakes after a bad game this morning - fitting as my daughter broke her fingers last night in a High School soccer game. Bre always has great advise and good takeaways from the podcast. Hope everyone gets as much as I do out of them. Thanks!
  • kr.keller
    Just getting started and already impactful!
    Literal game changer! I am so happy I came across this podcast and the people behind it! I look forward to listening to each one and taking away so many insightful pieces about how important mindset is within sports and life in general! I hope to help my kids and others practice this and apply it to real life situations. It’s already helped me focus on my own thoughts and dig deeper into my inner self. Great podcast for those who are inspired by the mental side of the game, but just don’t know where to start.
  • A Larga
    So helpful
    I just listened to pre-game nerves and I can’t wait to play a few of these podcasts on the way to my daughter’s 3 day tourney this weekend. I have been really focused on her mental game because her performance seems to be driven by how she is mentally feeling. I learned some better phrases after practices and games from Coach Bre that have really changed our car rides home. Much more enjoyable!
  • JunebugBibbles
    Mistakes Moms Make
    Great thought provoking information for both moms and dads for that car ride after the game.
  • Hoop_mom26
    Pre Game Nerves
    Great advice for athletes! Keep ā€˜em coming. šŸ’Æ
  • a_mattison
    The Go-to for girl athletes and moms!
    Top notch tips to navigate sports and life. Such a breath of fresh air in a super competitive world. Love the community . . . like-minded individuals coming together to raise unstoppable humans. Thanks Bre & team!
  • Gwen Reed
    Great tips for girl athletes and moms!
    I’ve been listening to the podcast for a while and I love the fact that it’s for both moms and athletes. As a parent, you want to help your child get the most out of their sports experience and if they have dreams/desires to take their sport to a higher level, the mental game is where most coaches/teams lack expertise. Bre gives valuable tips on handling perfectionism, difficult team mates, difficult coaches and more.
  • Shil0h5
    POWERFUL mental training
    My last review was over a year ago. So my updated review is still THESE LADIES ARE ROCKSTARS! This podcast still gives me important insights, tips, support and guidance for my female athletes as they build a strong foundation of confidence with the Elite Competitor. Listening inspires me to continue to lead with L.O.V.E as my female athletes follow their own athletic path with both mental and physical training. 😊
  • Loveandwisdom2023
    Very Helpful!
    These podcasts are so helpful for us as parents who are trying to help our daughters succeed in their sports and life in general!
  • Zanne79
    Lessons for LIFE
    I truly adore these podcasts. This is exactly the kind of thing I needed when I was younger. I can only imagine how different my life could have been growing up and in school if I had been given the tools to look within myself for confidence and learned how to not only make goals but strive for them and achieve! I am so blessed to have a tool like this to guide my daughters in a positive and confident way.
