But for female athletes, success is shaped by much more. This can include mental health, confidence, relationships and the environment around them. To better understand how to support girls in sports, we connected with Mimi Babcook, PT, DPT, SCS, OCS, a sports physical therapist at Children\u2019s Hospital Colorado, who shares expert insight on the unique pressures female athletes face and how parents and coaches can help them thrive both on and off the field.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div class=\"headingproperty\" data-block-id=\"86389\" data-block-type=\"headingproperty\">\n<p>Sports performance is more than an athlete\u2019s speed or skillset. With young female athletes, it\u2019s especially important to evaluate them holistically, including physical differences, hormones and social inclusivity among teammates.\u00a0That approach should also always include a mental health component, which can greatly impact not only performance but how much they enjoy playing.<\/p>\n<p>Mimi Babcook, PT, DPT, SCS, OCS, a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.childrenscolorado.org\/doctors-and-departments\/departments\/orthopedics\/programs\/sports-medicine-center\/sports-medicine-physical-therapy\/\">sports physical therapist<\/a>\u00a0with a Masters in Sport and Performance Psychology, is an expert in not only evaluating the physical side of youth athletics but also combining it with the mental side to create optimal performance. She looks at the two sides like parallel lanes on a road, working simultaneously within an athlete. And when one side \u2014 usually the mental side \u2014 isn\u2019t cared for, kids have the potential to hit a roadblock.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we do all of our patch and road work on the physical side and we don\u2019t perform the patch work on the mental side, there\u2019s going to come a time where you can\u2019t get any further,\u201d she says. \u201cWe know from research that the longer girls stay in sports, they are more resilient, have better life skills and relationships, and the whole person benefits. The longer we can keep girls out there, the better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So how do parents and coaches assist in that roadwork to ensure girls' mental health is taken care of? Babcook has a roadmap.<\/p>\n<h2>Pressure, expectations and athletic identity in girls<\/h2>\n<p>In today\u2019s world,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.childrenscolorado.org\/just-ask-childrens\/articles\/playing-to-win\/\">pressure to be the best<\/a>\u00a0on the team and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.childrenscolorado.org\/just-ask-childrens\/articles\/sport-specialization-one-or-one-too-many\/\">sports specialization<\/a>\u00a0is at an all-time high. There\u2019s several types of pressures Babcook sees in young athletes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Internal pressure: stress an athlete puts on themselves, such as a soccer player believing they aren\u2019t the best because their run time is slower than some teammates<\/li>\n<li>External pressure: stress an athlete perceives from a parent, coach or other individual, for example, a dancer believing they need to look a certain way because of comments they\u2019ve heard about their body<\/li>\n<li>Real pressure: stress an athlete feels that has external consequences tied to performance like a softball player being told by a coach that playing time depends solely on winning or stats<\/li>\n<li>Perceived pressure: stress felt by an athlete that links their personal value to their athletic performance, for example, a swimmer believing that winning is the only way to avoid disappointing their parents<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While there are many pressures in sports, female athletes often experience pressure related to their body image from coaches, parents, peers and even themselves more than their male counterparts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce someone says something about their body, that seed is planted. We must be very cautious in the words we choose because while it might roll off the back of some athletes, others can hold onto that creating potential for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.childrenscolorado.org\/conditions-and-advice\/conditions-and-symptoms\/conditions\/eating-disorders\/\">disordered eating<\/a>\u00a0habits or beliefs to develop,\u201d Babcook says.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to support athletes on their health journey and make sure their body expectations are talked about in a positive way. By creating a safe space for conversations around strength, nutrition and ability, girls are encouraged to recognize all the incredible things their bodies can do and reduce negative self-talk. And looking to athletes in the public eye, such as U.S. Olympic rugby player Ilona Maher, shows girls that being strong is beautiful \u2014 regardless of what society believes to be the \u201cnorm.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alongside body image demands, Babcook also sees parental or external expectations as a challenge for all athletes. It\u2019s important to have expectations for your child, including being a good teammate, having a willingness to learn and giving their best effort. Negative or unrealistic expectations can affect confidence and growth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hear a lot of parents talking about college scholarships with their 9 and 10-year-olds,\u201d she says. \u201cBut less than 2% of high school athletes will play in college, and less than 1% will earn a full ride. If that is what is defined as my kid's success, or if that kid takes that on as their identity and it\u2019s not looking like that's going to be the path, it can be detrimental to athletic and personal development.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Tips for parents and coaches<\/h3>\n<p>Parents and coaches set the tone for their players. But how can you create a safe environment that rewards success without impossible expectations? Here\u2019s a few tips:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Use supportive language by replacing \u201cDid you win?\u201d with \u201cWhat felt good today?\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Define success as effort, learning and enjoyment.<\/li>\n<li>Support balance, rest and emotional well-being.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid comparisons to teammates, siblings or past performances.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid the post-game interrogation and let kids lead the conversation. Keep love and approval unconditional, regardless of how a game or practice went.<\/li>\n<li>Advocate for your child when something feels unsafe or unhealthy.<\/li>\n<li>Set clear and age-appropriate expectations.<\/li>\n<li>Emphasize progress, teamwork and skill development.<\/li>\n<li>Treat mistakes as a part of learning, not something to punish.<\/li>\n<li>Model calm and respectful behavior on and off the field.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Understanding stress and burnout in female athletes<\/h2>\n<p>All athletes can burn out or hit a stage of physical, emotional and mental exhaustion due to prolonged training without proper recovery. A few signs of burnout include changes in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.childrenscolorado.org\/just-ask-childrens\/articles\/sleep-student-athletes-performance\/\">dormir<\/a>, social withdrawal,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.childrenscolorado.org\/conditions-and-advice\/conditions-and-symptoms\/conditions\/anxiety-obsessive-compulsive-disorder\/\">ansiedad<\/a>\u00a0o\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.childrenscolorado.org\/conditions-and-advice\/conditions-and-symptoms\/conditions\/depression\/\">depresi\u00f3n<\/a>, repeated injuries, delayed healing times, grade changes or changes in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.childrenscolorado.org\/doctors-and-departments\/departments\/orthopedics\/services\/sports-dietitian\/\">nutrici\u00f3n<\/a>. But stress and burnout can look different in female athletes on an emotional and physiological level.<\/p>\n<h3>Internal pressure and perfectionism<\/h3>\n<p>Girls are often more self-critical and more likely to have\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.childrenscolorado.org\/just-ask-childrens\/articles\/perfectionism\/\">perfectionist<\/a>\u00a0tendencies. Whether this is cultural, from social media or from adults around the athlete, girls tend to push through pain or exhaustion to avoid disappointing others, Babcook says. Praising effort and resilience over perfection can help improve self-doubt.<\/p>\n<p>\"Don't compare yourself to others because you truly have what you need inside of you. And that is enough, no matter what people tell you. As long as you work hard and use what you have inside, that's enough,\" Babcook says.<\/p>\n<h3>Emotional responses<\/h3>\n<p>Female athletes tend to internalize stress, which can lead to anxiety or low mood and can affect more than just sports performance. Burnout can look like emotional withdrawal instead of anger or acting out, and can be seen through poor academic performance or avoiding friends. Creating regular, low-pressure check-ins where feelings are validated and heard can help develop regulation and problem-solving skills.<\/p>\n<h3>Injury risk and overtraining<\/h3>\n<p>Female athletes often underreport pain or fatigue to avoid looking weak. Burnout can also appear as recurring injuries or stalled recovery.<\/p>\n<p>Normalizing rest days and addressing what may look like a \u201cminor\u201d injury or repeated complaints can help catch problems early and help girls get back to enjoying play.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI tell my kids all the time, \u2018It's OK not to be OK,\u2019\u201d Babcook says. \u201cYou're human, you're going to feel things that you've never felt before. And there are people trained to help you through this process and help you build the tools that you need to launch.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Hormonal and physiological factors<\/h3>\n<p>Energy availability, menstrual health, iron levels and stress hormones affect mood and recovery in female athletes. Especially during puberty, girls' bodies are adjusting to changes, and disruptions can be an early warning sign of overload. These factors can cause a potentially dangerous combination of symptoms known as the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.childrenscolorado.org\/just-ask-childrens\/articles\/female-athlete-triad-poses-potential-danger-for-young-athletes\/\">female athlete triad.<\/a>\u00a0You can help by providing proper education about bodily changes, appropriate medical support and encouraging proper nutrition and sleep.<\/p>\n<h3>Quiet burnout<\/h3>\n<p>Burnout can show up emotionally before it shows up physically, which means performance levels may stay high while motivation and joy significantly drop. Watch for loss of enjoyment and encourage athletes to spend time on other interests, rather than pushing harder to compete.<\/p>\n<h2>Team culture, relationships and positive environments for female athletes<\/h2>\n<p>Female athletes are more likely to tie their self-worth to relationships they make on the field, whether that\u2019s with teammates, coaches or other peers. The sense of belonging and approval can often be just as important as how \u201cgood\u201d they are at their sport. And unfortunately, social media also intensifies comparison and can create pressure to be successful or \u201cperfect.\u201d Building a healthy environment not only keeps girls in sports but also allows young athletes to develop as a whole person.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere's a lot more research coming out about how European young athletes burnout less frequently than American young athletes,\u201d Babcook says. \u201cThere's less stress on performance and outcomes early on, and it's all skill acquisition and team development. Sometimes, the fun part gets missed in America. Go have fun, build relationships, be strong, work hard and be brave.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Coaches should avoid favoritism or inconsistent feedback in a team setting as these things can quickly erode confidence. It\u2019s important to establish a team that values respect, inclusion and shared responsibility, and that reinforces the idea that every athlete matters. This can prevent clique-like behavior, and girls are more likely to build healthy relationships. To support that, parents should encourage their kids to de-center comparison to others and normalize speaking up if there\u2019s unresolved conflict with a team member or coach. A positive environment can lead to performance improvements, improved confidence and growth that encourages young girls to compete in their sports for longer.<\/p>\n<h2>Building confidence, resilience and long-term growth among female athletes<\/h2>\n<p>Confidence and resilience are built over time, not through constant pressure or perfection. Through support, realistic expectations and positive experiences, young girls feel safe to make mistakes, learn and are more likely to stay engaged in sports long-term.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have an opportunity to build resilience, and you get to learn how to take successes and failures and work through them to still show up next week,\u201d Babcook says. \u201cIf we shy away from the things that are uncomfortable all the time, we don\u2019t move forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When athletes can speak up about their injuries, take a rest day and navigate setbacks, they are more likely to take that knowledge into their lives as adults. Long-term athletic development isn\u2019t about pushing harder or specializing earlier, it\u2019s about creating conditions where athletes feel confident enough to continue, resilient enough to adapt and supported enough to see sports as a positive part of their lives now and in the future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you want to learn more from Mimi, check out her talk through our Speaker Series on how athletes can use <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/-9DpX1NI_RQ?si=uKMoOrHo_hAUqaol\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sports Performance Anxiety to their Advantage<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-24566-0-0-1\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-last-child\" data-index=\"1\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-image so-widget-sow-image-default-c67d20f9f743-24566\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"sow-image-container\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.childrenscolorado.org\/just-ask-childrens\/articles\/mental-health-girls-sports\/?slid=surg_ortho_slr&#038;utm_source=partner&#038;utm_medium=email&#038;utm_campaign=sports_med_partner_articles\"\n\t\t\ttarget=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" \t\t>\n\t\t\t<img \n\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.goldcrownfoundation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/sponsor-childrens.png\" width=\"150\" height=\"110\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" alt=\"\" \t\tclass=\"so-widget-image\"\/>\n\t\t\t<\/a><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to youth sports, performance is often measured by speed, strength or skill.
