Mental Toughness For Young Athletes (Parent’s Guide): Eight Proven 5-Minute Mindset Exercises For Kids And Teens Who Play Competitive Sports
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!

Trust in yourself first then your child.
This was and is a game changer for me and my boys. The book is such a great tool to help you guide and incorage your child. I signed up for the email chain which I find myself totally in love with and I can’t wait to get it every week. Troy is the man. We truly appreciate 🙏 his input. I am a little league coach and it has really made a huge difference in the way I coach. I have referred this book to all my players and their parents some of which have purchased it. We all find ourselves talking about the twice a week emails which is awesome. It has helped us makes sure we surround ourselves with like minded people. Keep up the great work Troy.

Best $5 spent: Lesson on parenting/coaching child
I really enjoyed this book – an easy read filled with gentle nudges for parent and child. Mistakes lead to success – for both parent and child. Don’t fear, just optimize bit by bit. What I learned:- Set goals together with child. Child learns by seeing. Parent must make goals transparent and child will follow. I successfully created a goal list with my 7 year old yesterday in a one hour car ride. She gave me feedback and created my goals too, which were spot on.- Visualize success. Mental visualization is almost as important as physical practice. Maybe that’s why dreams are so important.- Talk about the negatives with the child, but celebrate the wins massively – much more than talking about negatives, embrace the positives and your child 1000x.- Subconscious doesn’t filter between positive or negative connotations so when you set goals or talk to your child, rather than say “Do not” be specific about what to do. Do it!- Write out your goals every day, especially short term goals for that day in the morning.- Practice slow. Best way to solidify your shot. Just because you are practicing slow doesn’t mean you will hit or shoot slow. It will give you clarity on your form and muscle memory will kick in.- Keep it small. Like futsal to soccer, those who play and practice on a smaller space inevitably thrive in a larger field. I will practice with a smaller tennis racket and a smaller ball or hackey sack with my daughter.- Train ghetto – if you’re practicing in the best kit out facility, you may not have the drive to do better. If you’re in a third rate facility, you may want to do your best and train to get somewhere better. Even if you have access and enjoy your high end club, practice in a gritty location once in a while.FYI, all the above was straight from memory. Memory retention after reading this book was better than expected. Highly recommended.

Nice read

A must have parent companion!
Purchasing this parent guide made walking our kids through the exercises easier and even gave us things to consider in our own lives. I’d highly recommend for parents who are wanting to be intentional in supporting their kid’s sports journey and beyond. The exercises and tips are gold!

Awesome for focused pre teen
This book has really been great for my preteen son. He’s read it at least 4 times already

Sports Parents – please read this!
My kid and I enjoyed working through this book because big dreams require the right mindset. Another parent recommended this book and the parent version and I am very thankful I checked it out. The advice is solid, actionable, and real. My kid is hoping to play professionally someday, and I am new to the elite sports world. This book (and the parent one) has helped me understand how to support this goal and navigate this journey. I also found it helpful to help my non-athletic kid with their goals too. If you have an athlete (elite or not), this is the book to help guide your path.

Ok, but not for us
This does have some quality to it, but for a kid that is not too big in the world of professional sports it misses the mark for him. The author uses a lot of famous names to compare to and promote, but if your child doesn’t know a lot of them they may lose interest.

Learning
Knowledgeable for sure

Nice little book with good tips.Appreciated by Grandson.
Daniel Munoz –
I feel like every three paragraphs you’re trying to sell me on the idea and giving me reasons what I should read this book,,, but I’m already reading it! So it would be much better to get to the point (event if it’s a “warm up” idea).Also, quite disappointed with all the typos and grammar errors.Still, interesting topic.

Bought this to help my son who is a basketball player develop his mind and to aid his mental ability & strategy on court.Valuable mind book
Amazon Kunde –
The book is quite focused on basketball career but if you abstract your mind from this sports, you find it good advice for any sports athlete.I bought a version for my 9 year old son as well. We started putting things into practice and I even bought next book, volume 2Great book after all, I recommend both kids version and parents guide.
