Answer #1

Talk to your coach. Have the coach talk to your mother, saying that you try your best. Explain to the coach that you feel you’re doing the best that you possibly can, and that you would like him/her to try to get your mother to lay off. if the coach says that you’re not doing you’re best, then you’ve got a problem.

Answer #2

I’d have a sit-down talk with your mom and explain to her that her excessive pressure on you is detrimental to you performing at your best. Explain to her that you do appreciate her concern but that you are always doing your best and that you are paying attention to your coaches advice.

If all else fails, let her nagging go in one ear and out the other. Just keep on being you.
