THE PROBLEM WE SOLVE

Your child might be:

  • Technically skilled but mentally fragile under pressure (great in training, struggles in competition)
  • Giving up when things get difficult (quits sports, can't push through hard moments)
  • Hesitating when they should be confident (holds back even when capable)
  • Comparing themselves to others and feeling "not good enough"

You've tried encouragement. Sports psychology talks. More practice.

Nothing creates lasting mental toughness.

Here's why: Most approaches are top-down (brain → body). They try to think their way to confidence.

But you can't think your way to mental toughness when your nervous system is telling your body you're not capable.

THE CO-TRAINING DIFFERENCE

You don't watch from the sidelines.

You do this WITH your child.

When you both wobble on balance drills and keep trying...

When you both stand taller after posture work...

When you both push through Week 3 resistance together...

That's where mental toughness actually gets built.

Co-training creates:

  • Bonding through shared struggle
  • Modeling persistence (they see you try, fall, and continue)
  • Reduced pressure (you're learning together, not performing for each other)
  • Stronger results (commitment increases when you're both invested)

The bottom-Up Solution

Play Easier works differently.

Instead of telling your child "just be mentally tough," we give them embodied proof they're capable.

Bottom-up confidence building: Body → Feelings → Thoughts → Performance

Balance
Handling uncertainty and instability (on the field and in life)
Posture
Self-regulation under pressure (anxiety management through body awareness)
Acceleration
Taking controlled risks (going for it when it matters)
Foot Strike
Absorbing impact without breaking (resilience)
Push Off
Creating power and agency (making things happen, not waiting)
Arms
Finding rhythm in chaos (flow states under pressure)
Cadence
Sustainable effort (finishing what you start instead of burning out)

Mick Breen

The Athlete Who Had to Relearn Running

Built by Mick Breen, ex-elite rugby player and Myotherapist, Natural Born Running combines science, real-world coaching, and proven results to help you move better, play better, and live better.

Mick reached England U18s rugby before preventable injuries ended his career. The physical pain healed in months. The psychological damage from believing "I'm not good enough" lasted decades.

When he discovered that 70% of kids quit sports by age 13—not from injuries, but from mental health struggles—he built Play Easier.

Not to create faster athletes. To build mentally tougher kids who can handle hard things.

Because athletic performance doesn't matter if your child quits because they believe they're not good enough.

That belief ruins lives. This program prevents it.
