Frequently Asked Questions

Why does recruiting create anxiety?

Recruiting turns normal performance into evaluation. Athletes may start treating every pitch, swing, or play as a judgment on their future.

What helps at showcases?

Athletes need a controllable game plan, a reset routine, and a way to separate feedback from identity.

Should parents talk about recruiting before games?

Usually less is better. Keep pre-game language focused on process, trusting their training, and letting their skills show up.

Is STRYV therapy?

No. STRYV is performance coaching for confidence, attention, reset skills, pressure routines, and competitive execution. Clinical or mental health needs should be handled by licensed professionals.
