Overcoming Adversity in Youth Sports By Being "All In"

When sports kids face challenges such as injuries or mistakes, they're more likely to overcome them by being "all in"--committed to working hard and improving in their sport. Chad Dunn, CEO of Move Performance Center and former BMX racer, asks kids facing adversity, "Do you really want to do this?" The right answer, he says, is "Coach, I'm all in." A big challenge for sports kids is comparing themselves to others, especially when they focus too much on what other athletes are posting on social media, he says. His advice: Stop making comparisons.  Send podcast episode ideas to The Ultimate Sports Parent Follow our LinkedIn Page Follow us on Apple Podcasts Check out our youth sports psychology blog
