Redefining Toughness in Youth Sports


We often talk about building “tough” kids — ones who push through pain, never complain, always win.

But real toughness? It’s more layered than that.

It’s a player admitting they’re hurt — and trusting the adult will listen.
It’s speaking up for a teammate.
It’s staying kind under pressure.
It’s showing up again after a rough game.

Let’s stop equating toughness with silence or stoicism. Instead, let’s teach our kids that strength includes self-awareness, empathy, and resilience. Because that’s the kind of toughness they’ll need for the long haul.
