Participating in sports can be an exciting time for kids. They develop friendships, learn new skills, and work ethic. Coaches spread messages of mental toughness, grit, resilience, community, and leadership. There are many positive aspects of competition in your child’s development and performance. The biggest challenge is how can we cultivate a child’s mindset to be more resilient. Let’s start by discussing what it is and is not.
Our mindset comes from learned experiences in competition and reinforced by coaches and parents. You and the coach have the biggest influence on the mindset of your child.
When we see resilient individuals, we see strong support structures. Positive team cultures, supportive family and friends are critical to resilience.
The opposite of resilience is rigidness. When athletes struggle with their confidence and performance, they get so laser-focused on the distress (negative emotions or the mistake itself) that they lose perspective on the situation.
