Rebecca Smith is the founder and CEO of Complete Performance Coaching and Perform Happy. She has been helping high achievers thrive under pressure for more than 20 years. A recovering perfectionist, former gymnast, and coach, Rebecca struggled with mental blocks for years before they destroyed her gymnastics career.
Rebecca joins veteran NFL agent and Pro Mindset Podcast host, Craig Domann, to discuss the “flow” and the conditions present when an athlete hits the flow. The focus and fun of flow happens in a random fashion when the athlete is out of their own head and just playing in the zone.

Rebecca shares her life mission of minimizing and eliminating “fear” in her athletes so they can play with higher confidence. She suggests athletes should legalize failure in their performance so they can recapture the joy of playing the sport and naturally increase their performance and success.

Rebecca and Craig also talk about the following topics:
•How to build confidence?
•How to overcome fear and the fear of failure?
•How to keep your sport from becoming a job?
•What does it mean to design your own perfect coach?
•How to approach championship or Olympic-like competitions?
•What are the circumstances present when an athlete plays in the “flow”?
Rebecca’s deep passion lies in using an evidence-based approach that allows fearful young athletes to learn to trust themselves again. Her athletes learn to have a voice and stand up against the toxic culture of youth sports that has existed for decades.
When she’s not coaching in Perform Happy, she’s at the beach with her husband and her mini-gymnasts Ruby & Violet. Check out Perform Happy at www.completeperformancecoaching.com.
