Hello, and welcome to the Charge Forward Coaching Podcast. I'm your host, James Blasco. Today, again, we have another very special guest all the way from Pune, India. I've had a chance to speak and get to know her pretty well over the last couple months. she invited me to speak at a parent athlete conference that was held over there through Prehab 121 Academy. And it was a great experience. So we're going to talk a little bit about.

Mental toughness, of course, in the four C's, but we're also gonna talk about the parents and coaches' role in helping athletes, especially younger athletes, develop their mental toughness and other aspects of their person.

So to help us do that is Himani Tyagi She is a strength and conditioning coach.

From India. So welcome to the show.

Thank you so much for inviting me. I'm really excited for this podcast and I'm looking forward to it.

Absolutely. Thank you for joining us. So why don't we just start with your background, how you got into being a strength and conditioning coach and what you're currently doing.

so basically I used to be a cricket player when I was younger. after a few years of playing, not not many years though, after a few years of playing, I decided to become a strength and conditioning coach. and now I'm working with Prehab One to One Academy as a strength and conditioning coach, also as a lecturer, course instructor, because Prehab One to One Academy is an educational institute.

So I also teach other new coaches about strength and conditioning and I train athletes in the in the facility, coming from various backgrounds, various sports, some from tennis, squash, badminton, table tennis, cricket, hockey.

So can you share a little bit about the academy and then also the the conference that was just held

so Academy as I said is an educational institute and here we teach many courses and one of the courses is strength and conditioning, which I take, but there are several other courses related to sports science. nutrition, sports nutrition, for example, rehab, rehab, injuries. Dr. Luqman who owns Rehab One to One Academy, he is a physiotherapist himself, worked with really good sports persons. So

He takes, for example, how to come out of injury, how as a coach you have to understand about injuries. So yeah, various different topics of of sport science. and yeah, and we are making progress. We are introducing many courses now. and about parent athlete conference, it was totally my brain's child. because I have seen I have seen parents

really asking not the correct questions when they come to meet us when when they meet other coaches nutritionists they really mean well they really want to help their athletes but they are not asking the correct questions they should be asking so my idea about doing the conference is to educate them on the basics of various

feels associated with the development of an athlete so we can empower them and then they will be able to ask better questions. For example, when it it actually came out the idea came from this particular incident with h which happened. There there was this one nine-year-old athlete's parents who came and they asked us do you do you give us do you give skating specific preparation? And for a nine-year-old

The preparation is usually general. We do not call it sports specific at that particular age. So that kind of told me that okay, parents because of so many social media interactions, they don't have the exact idea, but they need to be asking also. So let's educate them as we upgrade ourselves as SNCs, coaches. Why not parents need to be upgraded? They should upgrade themselves too.

Absolutely. And yeah, I see it a lot also when I'm working with athletes. some parents want to be more involved, other parents do not. Do you see a difference in parents and how they respond and work with you and and their athlete between whether it's a parent who was a a prior athlete themselves and maybe a parent who never really

wasn't athletics but their child is. Do you see a difference in their approaches?

Yes, yes, there is a distinctive difference in their approach. Now, for example, many a times parent who themselves have played some sport, they have the idea of what the sport demands. So there are good factors also associated with that. There are certain things, for example, treating your kid and

like a coach, like you are a coach, for example. So that kind of becomes a problem for the parents who have already played the sport. But the upside is they understand the athlete also really well when they're going through certain challenges. So both upsides and downsides are there and they have to make a decision at some point that how do you want to present yourself to the child? Are you going to be coaching them a lot? because that's that might not the child's demand at that particular time.

But there are lot of participation definitely from the parents who have played some portfolio. Parents who have not, their participation sometimes is neutral, but also because they are not aware about many of these things, they sometimes get confused or the decision making is not really rooted into into the science, for example, or the decision making is n not really helping the athlete.

Because they don't know the difference. So, yeah, both the upsides and downsides. We like both of them and we don't like certain aspects about both of them.

I i right. It's juggling. Th there's always good and maybe some bad mixed in there with the different approaches. you were gracious enough to have me at that conference, as I mentioned earlier, to talk a little bit about mental toughness to both the parents and the athletes. What what is mental toughness to you? a lot of different definitions out there, but when when you're working with an athlete or even in you know your your prior career, what

What does mental toughness mean to you?

Yeah, as an athlete also and now as a coach also, I think I think I would like to define mental toughness as the as the ability to execute your mental tactical technical skills at the moments of pressure without giving without giving your brain enough power to tell you that you're winning or losing.

So mental toughness and and and executing those skills with correct intensity and focus. Many are times what pressure can really do is even when you are going going really well in the mat, even when you're winning, for example, it's not just about losing. Even when you're winning, your brain can tell you you are winning. So intensity might go down, your approach might change there.

So you are now not executing what you are supposed to execute. So both winning at the moments of both winning and losing, it is important. The mental toughness is important.

So with that, knowing how pressure impacts the athletes at any given moment, what are some of the things that you work with athletes on to help them handle that pressure?

s as an as a strength and conditioning coach, we are really not with them while they are playing or while they are executing the technical and tactical skills. So our work as an S&C is really in the background, what I feel. also because they they talk a lot to us as as an athlete, because they have we spend a lot of time doing, you know, drills, exercises. So they do get a lot time with us.

So what we try to really tell them or make them understand is autonomy. autonomy is one of the factors which I have felt throughout my career also and now my athlete's career that it plays a very big role. Do you think the sport belongs to you? Or do you think you are doing it for someone else, or you you are doing even a part of it for someone else, maybe parents, maybe coaches, right? At some point you're not you shouldn't be playing even for your coaches, for example.

that autonomy holds, right? Make and it also helps you making decisions. Bad or good is the next part. So yeah, trying to inculcate the autonomy into them. And second thing I think making an environment which can make them feel or actually encourage mistakes. the mistakes should be celebrated many a times. not just, you know, it's fine to do mistakes.

It's good you did that mistake. So you're learning from it now.

Yeah, those are two huge I'm so glad you brought up autonomy and why somebody is even playing the sport or doing putting in all the work, who are they doing it for? I find that to be like a foundational part of helping them build not just their confidence, but their self-esteem and you know, those types of things, it definitely helps with commitment because they're gonna have to put a lot of work in and if you're not doing it for the right reasons.

that

you're aware of that's really, really tough. And then failing, you're, you're like spot on there. I tell people fail and fail fast because you're gonna learn faster, you know? And it's that's a huge part of the the mental toughness stuff. since we were talking about I to kind of brought up toughness. how can parents support the athlete in improving the athlete's

confidence, especially when maybe they're just starting in a sport or maybe their their season isn't going that great or they just had a bad event. How what can a parent do to help build the child's confidence?

Right. I think parents should understand their role in that particular their their child, I mean, in their child's journey. Many a times the problem comes when they do not understand their particular role in their life and it it comes out many a times as

Athletes in athletes' mind their parents' role is a little different, and in a parent's mind, their role is certain different. So first you have to understand where you stand, where your role is, and then helping the athlete accordingly. Let's say they are going through a certain situation which is let's say a setback, they they they they kind of lost the tournament which they were expecting to win, for example. Now, as a parent, you have choices to make.

Either get really frustrated about it in front of their kids. even if they're not frustrated, many times it's a gesture, their body language they say a lot. So there I think be open for a conversation if the athlete wants. be open for the conversation and really not push the athlete to say something at the moment when they're losing, right?

maybe sit after some time, talk to the coaches, talk to the coaches how you can help the athlete. Do they even need the help right now? But yeah, many a times I've seen parents, when the athlete loses the match, they become very frustrated. And many a times I've seen parents, let's go out, have some ice cream and let's talk about it later in maybe the next day. And instead of giving them advices, I always prefer them asking more questions first. And

Trying to come up with a solution together with them.

Yeah, and that's so important. I've I've had parents who have asked me to speak with the child the day, you know, of the event, just after the event. And I tell them all the time, no, that's I don't do that. It's not part of my process. If for whatever reason the athlete wants to reach out to me and ask me a question, that's fine. But I'm not going to do that for all the reasons you just stated to let them process what just happened, good or bad.

And

then we could address it, you know, afterwards. There's too many emotions. And speaking of emotions, I I find that one of the big hurdles for athletes, especially younger athletes, is controlling or maybe better said, managing their emotions, especially during a contest. Do you see that as one of the bigger challenges for them? And how do you

work with them directly or indirectly to to overcome the emotional side of it.

I do see many athletes having different kind of pressures or different kind of emotional control. It's kind of a spectrum I see. for example, many athletes they get anxiety even before a match. The match hasn't started yet, three four hours before the match. Some starts to get anxiety inside the court.

when the situation becomes real little difficult. So yeah, emotional control as you are saying, I I do not teach it directly, but indirectly we do have a lot of conversation. And again I would say that the environment if that allows you to make mistakes and many a times

the environment. The environment consists of your coaches, your parents, everyone. And yourself, if your focus is overtly on the outcome, it is going to affect you. It is going to make you emotional, mid-match. I have athletes who who has said to me, in the pressure situations we were thinking how my parent is going to react. So it all boils down to their mental preparation outside

The field outside the court, also. So, yeah, when you make a mistake, for example, if you are making a mistake, come back to the present and you have to prepare yourself by deliberate practice outside the court, outside the field during the practices, visualizations, right? So deliberate practice outside the match setup and going into pressure situations every now and then, not just the matches.

Can really help you to control your emotions. Right, and one more thing which has helped me is to tell them that many a times it's okay if you feel emotional, it's a part of a game. give yourself 10 seconds, make practice for those 10 seconds, even when you're practicing. Give yourself 10 seconds to think about the mistake and let it go. It's fine. Take your time and then come back again to the present. So those 10 seconds, 20 seconds.

You should be practicing.

Yeah,

that that's huge. And you're right. You you do have to practice it just like any other skill set physically that you'd work on. You have to practice that emotional control side. And it in life we have a we have a lot of areas we could practice that in, right? You could be driving and somebody cuts you off and that's a chance to practice that emotional control, things like that. You you work I

The zone night.

in my opinion, in the strength and conditioning, that's where

A lot of the victories really come from is that preparation on the the physical side, not just the mental side, of course. And it takes a lot of commitment to do that. What does commitment mean to you? And how can someone, especially a younger athlete, develop the commitment that's required to achieve the highest goals that they have?

so commitment according to me again comes down to both the sectors, I would say. When you are doing well and when you are not doing well. That's where the commitment kind of becomes important. when the things are going really well and when the things are not going really well. So when the things are going well, again it shows do you want to continue with the current progress rate or not? So

Do you have the ability to do that? Or we still need to work on it. Commitment at that particular time, I am going to the practice even when I have certain problems, or even when I'm winning a lot, I'm still going to go to the practice. Or at the other end, I'm not winning as much I'm practicing, as much effort I am putting. so the motivation goes down, and at that moment, again, your commitment becomes important. That yes, I'm losing, I'm not

really getting the results at this particular point of time, but I'll keep I'll keep the self-belief that I am on the right path and I am still going to execute whatever is meant to be executed, right? Coming to the practices, coming to the trainings, and doing those trainings with correct and intended efforts. So yeah, many a times I I because I work with kids also so I I hear such examples which makes me laugh.

I have my this thing in the evening. I I can't come. So the smallest of reasons when you don't have correct commitment, the smallest of reasons can make you go out of that commitment. And when you're committed, even the biggest of reasons sometimes are not enough to stop you from coming to practices.

You and you touched on something is like wildly important. Not just that you're sticking to the program and the process, but you have specific intent and focus and effort into each practice, into each session. Do you i do you think that's one of the the the separators, the thing that defines the great athletes from the average athletes is that when they practice, every practice is a hundred percent.

Yes,

that is there. but but I would always like to think that this particular athlete who is not putting the correct effort do not really want to do that. everyone really liked to put efforts if they can. So my question then becomes and first of all you are right that yes, this is a separator. But the basic question then again comes to is why this athlete

even when they want to achieve something really big and want to put efforts, why is not able to put efforts? Right? It can come down to various issues and it it can be a smallest r reason such as nutrition, for example, many a times. It is not talked enough, but many a times when because nowadays children are practicing much more, they their workload is much more, they're not getting enough rest.

because because of the school activities, because they are playing at sort very young ages nowadays. So we have to find a reason that this person really do want to put efforts while they are not putting. So yeah, nutrition habits, we have to talk to them. Again it's a it's a skill as sometimes putting efforts can be taught. After a certain point of time if the athlete really don't think the sport belongs to them.

Or they don't like the sport, etcetera. Then it becomes difficult to you know, teach that particular skill. But otherwise I think many of the athletes do want to give a huge percentage of effort. Yeah.

Do do you find that parents

find it difficult to view the athlete and the process and the work it takes holistically, kind of how you just described that it's not just the work on the field or in the gym, but it's how you eat and rest and all those things. Do they app approach that and understand that, or is that something that has to be taught to them?

I have talked to certain parents about it and and and their main argument is that Himani we know that they are doing lot of things at this particular age. At just the age of twelve, thirteen they are learning piano also, they are they are going to dance classes, they are doing Olympiads. We know, but the world is so competitive that we have to make them do certain things, which

after some time increases their chances to get into good universities, maybe get into good universities in countries like US, UK. So many of them know that this affects their children. That's why parents are struggling, many parents are struggling to find the correct schedule when to send it send their kids for training, how to schedule it properly so that they can get rest also because they are children, so they are meant to live their life also in a certain way.

So yes, they they do understand but the but the pressure of today's world is so high that many parents are not able to find an answer to that.

that's that's really interesting. And sometimes, and maybe I'm naive here, I think sometimes as parents we overcomplicate it for ourselves and not use common sense and you know what would be best and practical for the athlete and the child. earlier you we talked a little bit about failing and how important that is, and we're all gonna fail and grow. when it comes to taking risks, I know after the conference.

the other week, you had texted me and there was a question from a parent about their child and they seem to think that their child sometimes was kind of tight during a big moment in a match or a game, maybe had some fear behind them. They weren't aggressive enough to make a play, whatever. And it's you know, that stands out to me is they they don't want to fail. They don't want to mess up. They don't want to ruin it for themselves or their team. What

What would you say to that child in terms of it's okay to take that chance? It's okay to miss the shot or whatever, because you're gonna learn from it. How how would you approach that with that child?

Yes, I would like to talk to that athlete also, that parent also. That first of all, why do you think you are not able to take this risk or why do you think you are not aggressive enough and I don't really feel that being aggressive enough in the approach is a bad thing, in certain manner. I really think every athlete have

has a certain personality. Some really like to build up that aggression into themselves. They keep it inside and then they show maybe after they win or lose the match or something. Sometimes they are not at all aggressive. They are they take it smoothly and there is nothing nothing wrong with it. So I would like to find the reason. Is the reason with a fear of failure? You are not taking risks because you are thinking or jumping to conclusions.

That you are going to fail at it. So I would like to talk about it with the athlete, however small, 13-year-old, 11-year-old. And I would try to understand where that is coming from. It might be coming from how parents view the world. And sometimes parents' beliefs and experiences limit the athlete. Right? My athlete will not do these things because in the past I have experienced this, right?

So either the parent would go on and tell their athlete to do the exact thing or egg at or do the opposite of the exact thing. Just two ways. Go forward or just go backward. We and that's what that's the reason of arranging the conference. There is a well informed third way which you can take with your athlete. So yeah, I would like to know the reason behind their fear and try to talk some talk out some questions with them.

I'm so glad you touched on the different personalities and backgrounds, cultures, community, all these things. They because when we look at the athlete, just if they were all the same, I guess it would be easier to coach, but they're not. And sometimes we don't take that into consideration. And you brought up a really interesting point. They're around their parents the most. And do their parents understand?

all of those dynamics instead of just looking at something black and white and how to perform or how to prepare to perform. I think that's fascinating. I think your conference did a great job of opening eyes for parents into that that bigger picture because to me that's one of the most important factors. And speaking of the conference, what what type of feedback did you receive from parents? What insights, what things open their eyes

after the conference that you think made a big difference.

I think first of all in the conference what I observed that parents were really looking for answers. They were really happy with the way all of the speakers, including you, gave them certain answers which they were looking for. they for example, a very small example of the nutrition thing. So there were many mothers in the conference and their huge problem.

was what to give to their child to eat during the match day. Right. And because on the internet you have a lot of lot of suggestions, right? And different different suggestions. Some are saying do this, some are saying do this. So when the nutrition talk happened, they were so happy, the mothers were so happy that yes, we were looking for this. So yeah so from conference I do I do realize that parents do want to learn, first of all.

And they do want to give the correct solution to their kids also. And and and during the conference we touched on many of those factors.

I

could tell on speaking with you, obviously you're very experienced, very educated, very, very good at what you do. What inspires you each day to go help others become the best they can be?

I think coming from an athletic background would help me a lot connecting with the athletes. So it's not it's nothing else than the growth of the athlete which really helps me coming and taking their sessions, the smallest of things, talking to them, encouraging them, helping them to grow because I do really connect

with that. I have been an athlete throughout my childhood also. I played whatever sport possible. So that I really I really understand the problems of athlete because I have gone through that and I do really empathize with it. so I I I really like what I'm doing with the athletes. I sometimes for example, every job has certain things which are associated with it which you do not like. Like many a times

talking to a frustrated parent, right? I you don't like it. But because you know it is going to help the athlete, you really enjoy doing that also many a times. It's like, yes, all right, let's talk, let's sit. And yeah, that's how that's how I keep myself motivated.

What what's your favorite sport?

for playing I think cricket because I have played that a lot. watching I do I really enjoy racket sports, watching racket sports because it's so fast and very little rest, so it's it's a continuous stimulation you get, I think. Which which helps me.

So I, you know, speaking of cricket, and I I'll just total transparency. I don't know a lot about the sport, but I know at times it could it could go on for a couple days or more, right? It could go long. What what do you find? How can athletes handle that type of situation where you have an event that just, you know, takes several days, golfers have to deal with this over four day tournaments versus somebody who's playing

hockey or football where it's, you know, all within three hours. Is there a difference? I mean, how do athletes get trained both emotionally and physically to to handle those different types of situations?

Yes, physically definitely you have a little different training associated with such kind of sport like cricket. Racket sports are much bigger, much intense, gets over, for example squash gets over in forty five minutes on average, badminton same, tennis, maybe some hours. but cricket can go on for a d the whole day and maybe for the four four or five days. So there, yes, maintaining fitness is a task. secondly I think it

has both upside and downside. If you have done some mistake on the day one of a cricket match, it can linger with you for another two, three days. whereas in racket sports you have very less time to make decisions. So there the task becomes difficult how to come out of the mistake because you as even when you're realizing you made a mistake, you have lost two three points. Even in when you're realizing you have made a mistake. So both of them hold different challenges.

And we can deal with them accordingly.

Yeah, I find that intri every time I'm watching these different scenarios, I'm like, How is that person, you know, gonna handle that? They have to sleep on it and come back the next day.

Yes.

Yeah, and that's why sometimes those no very simple drills like breathing in and breathing out after you make a mistake, give yourself ten seconds sometimes becomes a huge deal in these fast sports because you don't get that time. Whereas in sports like cricket, or football, also because it's a it's a team sport.

it's sometimes these drills, these breathing exercises, these breathing techniques, visualize visualization techniques do hold some power. But when it comes to racket sports I personally struggle and that's why I invited psychologists also, you also, so that we can really find out how to work with these sports where you're not getting the time at all to ground yourself.

No breathing is working. Even the rest between two games is just ninety seconds. So you are making decisions in a jiffy. And that's why I think the deliberate practice is b is very important with such sport.

For sure. And your mind in those situations is moving so fast. It's programmed to move to move so fast. And if you if you don't understand how to slow it down, so to speak, yeah, it could be overwhelming. I've been there myself and it's not a good feeling when you can't control that. So it's practice, practice, practice. if you could give one bit of advice to parents and one bit of advice to young athletes in terms of

How to approach going after their athletic goals, what would it be?

for parents, I would still tell them that before before this child is an athlete, he or she is a child. Because many a times I have felt that parents do really get into the athletic side of their child. They make it their whole life. Whereas

a child who is already already struggling, already fighting with the environment. For example, coaches are you know, telling them what to do, what not to do, you know, sometimes maybe screaming at them, unintentionally, intentionally. even us S&C coaches, they are telling them, Do it, you know, although I do take care what word you know, words are coming out of my mouth. But many times we are we are putting them into a lot of pressurized situations.

So at the end of the day, they do not want it coming from the parents also. So for parents, I would like them to see that particular person as their child first, and that will help them actually to make better decisions. Because here she is already fighting a lot outside. So if you're not giving them the comfort, and if your child is not able to communicate with you about their problems, you have to look into it. There is something which you should be doing about this fact.

Himani

So yeah, for parents, this advice and for athletes, I feel many of them take mental toughness as something they possess or don't possess. I would like to tell them that it's a it's a skill which they can develop. For example, yeah, in class six you just got introduced to algebra, right? But by the class by by class ten, you were really solving those mathematical equations really well, right?

It's similar. Mental toughness is a learnable skill. So do not think of it as something and yeah, it is it is true that some athletes do possess it, do do have an edge over it. But it doesn't mean that you cannot develop it. So yeah, try to develop it. It's a skill.

James Blasco

Yeah, excellent advice. And thank you for saying that because it people do need to understand. I feel like that's one of the biggest reasons I'm talking to people about it is you can learn it. It's it's not just genetics all the time. In fact, most of the time it's not. It's a skill anybody could learn, young or old, and it it really could change your life, not just what happens on the field or the court or

you know, in your athletic career. So thank you for those insights and thank you for all of your words of wisdom today. I really enjoyed this conversation. You are an outstanding coach, I could tell, and your experience and knowledge and love for what you do just kind of jumps out all over the place. So thank you so much for being on the podcast.

Himani

Thank you so much for inviting me and this is one of the topic which I do feel is very important to talk about and because in India we have a population which is more emotional, right? so this becomes a major conversation and as and as you said, you were gracious enough and it was our pleasure that you spoke at our conference also, and it gave our parents a framework.

to develop their athlete and that is very important. When you don't have a framework, you go emotional about it. So thank you so much for coming to our conference presenting your four C's, right? Very important now and I think many parents learn from it. And thank you so much.

James Blasco

And for the rest of you out there, don't forget to like and share and subscribe and all that good stuff. You could always go to chargeforwardcoaching.com and learn a little bit more about mental toughness. You could learn a little bit more about me and you could always request a free discovery call and we could have a conversation to see if coaching and learning more about mental toughness is something you'd like to do. But in the meantime, just keep charging forward.
