We welcome in the “Kick’n Life Guru”, Rich Grogan, to talk about mental toughness and how it relates to youth sports. Our discussion helps us realize failure is a part of all sports, but it is even more prominent in the game of baseball. How do we deal with failure on a daily basis within the game? Through teaching children, we learn how the euphoria of success can help us better understand our feelings when we struggle. Our conversation shows us we need to redefine failure in youth sports. Focusing on results versus development puts unnecessary pressure on kids. While adolescents, children should be able to enjoy the game as the pressure to succeed will be front and center during maturation into adulthood. Join us for this week’s episode of Youth Baseball Talk!
