The Indiana High School Bowling program is excited to offer a special professional-development opportunity designed exclusively for our coaches. We’ve partnered with Tamara Petrin from Mindset Gear to host a powerful 60-minute Zoom workshop:

What You Say vs. What They Hear

Reframing Coach Talk That Creates Pressure

Tuesday, December 2, 2025 – 7 PM CT / 8 PM ET

Live on Zoom

This session will focus on how small shifts in communication can help reduce athlete pressure and foster genuine confidence.

Key takeaways include:

Why athletes sometimes hear pressure when coaches intend motivation

How phrases like “You’ve got this!” can accidentally backfire

Simple reframes that positively impact athlete performance and mindset

The workshop includes 30 minutes of content + 30 minutes of Q&A and is free for all IHSB coaches.
