Mental blocks can be one of the most frustrating challenges for athletes, whether it's a lost skill that suddenly disappears or a takeoff that just won’t feel right. In this episode of the PerformHappy Podcast, I sit down with elite trampoline coach James Coomber to dive into both types of mental blocks and how to break through them.

James is an incredible coach who balances high-level goals with a nurturing approach. He’s worked with world-class athletes, but he firmly believes that there’s a place for everyone in the sport. In our conversation, we cover the power of embracing vulnerability, why mental blocks happen, and the best ways to move forward with confidence.

If you've ever felt stuck, whether in the air or on the ground, this episode is for you.

In this episode, Coach Rebecca and James Coomber talk about:

How to Keep Athletes Engaged and Inspired.

The Importance of Coaching Different Personalities and Adapting to Individual Needs.

“You learn best when you're uncomfortable—because that's when you truly test what you're capable of. Anyone can succeed when things are easy, but real resilience is finding a way forward when you're up against the wall.” – James Coomber
