What You’ll Hear in Today’s 15-Minute Huddle:   Today’s questions: When we feel fear (as an athlete, especially as a female athlete), what we do with that emotion of FEAR? Especially when we don't want to admit it because we feel like it makes us look weak? To help answer this question, I’m joined by Coach Christen Schnefaus who speaks all over the country to athletes, parents, and coaches about Handling Fear. We discuss how fear works in our minds and how to be there for your female athlete.   How to get rid of the “tap dancer” and get real with your feelings.   The way fear undermines our confidence.   Why sharing our fears and doubts is important and how you can encourage those conversations with your athletes.   How to build a good relationship with your teenage athlete and some tips to encourage an open relationship.   Links & References:   You can connect with Coach Christen: http://coachchristen.com/ Coach Christen started coaching swimming after her career at the University of Tenne
