Mental toughness isn’t about never facing challenges. It’s about what happens when the storm hits. The stronger the window, the harder it is to break. The stronger the player or coach, the harder it is to crack.
So ask yourself: What does it take to break me? -Reid Ouse

Mental toughness is built, in part, by doing something that is hard (or uncomfortable) over and over again, especially when you don't feel like doing it. Stay positive and proactive to push through on your down days or when you don't have your A Game.~Dr. Jim Afremow

Men often become what they believe themselves to be. If I believe I cannot do something, it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe I can, then I acquire the ability to do it even if I didn’t have it in the beginning.

Teach kids how to lose. Losing isn’t quitting, pouting, blaming or tantrums. It isn’t “feel-good” trophies either. Losing means lessons to learn, work to do, & the courage to come back tomorrow stronger & better. You can’t be a great winner until you’ve truly learned how to lose. ~Jon Beck

Three things you control every day are your ATTITUDE, your EFFORT and your ACTIONS.
It doesn’t matter what others are doing or who you think is being unfair. Every day you can focus on being positive, working hard and making others around you better.

You’re raising a child. Teach them respect, hard work, how to be a good person. Show them what character & work ethic are. Hold them accountable. Teach them that they won’t ever get what they don’t earn. Strong, well-rounded kids find success much easier.
