This week The Dancing Housewife explores the often-unspoken reality in competitive ballroom dance: falling short of expectations. As a ballroom dancer, podcaster, and certified mental performance coach, she guides you through the mental struggles of dropping placements, from being a finalist to watching from the sidelines. Learn practical tools to shift from frustration to focus, including naming and managing emotions, refocusing on controllable factors, leading from your current position, visualizing success, and seeking helpful feedback. Whether you're facing tougher competition, returning from a break, or dealing with an injury, this episode offers valuable insights for every dancer navigating challenging times.
