A parent’s guide to young athletes’ mental game

Moses Horne frames mental toughness as something parents can help young athletes develop, especially when confidence or performance anxiety becomes a challenge in competitive sports. The guide draws on lessons the author says he gathered through conversations with professional and college athletes and coaches, then organizes them around eight five-minute mindset exercises for kids and teens. Its emphasis is on practical support for the gap between performing in practice and facing competition, with parents addressed as partners in that process.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Parents supporting teens who play competitive sports
  • Young athletes interested in short mindset exercises
  • Families navigating confidence or performance anxiety in sport

Book overview

Finally! There is A Mental Toughness Book For Young Athletes!

Hey Parents,

Troy Horne here. Your mental toughness guide! If you are reading this you probably have a young athlete who struggles with in-game confidence and maybe even sports performance anxiety. I am here to help parents understand how to help your young athlete navigate this mental toughness journey. I know where you are and I know how to help you help your young athlete find their mental toughness. I have purchased a lot of books about mental toughness in sports.

To be honest, most of the books that we read were not a good fit for young athletes because they were either written for adults or not written for youth athletes in COMPETITIVE sports. There is a difference.

Parents! Since there wasn't anything out there for elite athletes I did what every youth sports parent does when they want to help their kid.

I took the long journey of ups and downs. I struggled to help my young athlete find his mental toughness. IT WAS ROUGH! However, luckily along the way we found the winning formula thanks to being able to talk with sports icons personally. We launched a podcast together and on it we interviewed sports mental toughness giants like Chauncey Billups, Tywanna Smith, Keiko Yoshimine, Earl Boykins, Jason Richardson and Kobe Bryant!

I studied what they did and said based on our interviews and I came up with a mental toughness plan that worked! I followed their journey and their advice. I wrote down what worked for my young athlete and I put it in this book so that you would be able to skip a lot of the struggle and failure part. No need for everyone to struggle right?

In this book I am going to share with you what I learned from talking to NBA Athletes, NFL Athletes, EuroLeague Athletes, College Coaches, and College Athletes as well.

  • Does your child perform better in practice than they do when the game or when the "Lights Come On"?
  • Do they seem like they are losing their love for the game?
  • Do you want to help them?

If you answered yes to these questions then you are in the right place. This book is the answer that you have been looking for! I can say this with confidence because I have used everything that I am going to share with you in this book with my son and it has worked.

What a blessing to get the keys to mental toughness straight from greats! I look forward to sharing what we learned with you!

This stuff is a game-changer and it's made specifically for young athletes!
