The Confidence Transformation

One of my favorite parts of coaching youth athletes is watching confidence grow. A nervous, unsure kid hits a personal record. Their posture changes. Their voice changes. They start believing in their own potential.

The same thing happens when they see results on the field. They connect the dots. The work they put in the gym directly changed how they felt in competition.

That moment is powerful. It teaches them ownership. It teaches them agency. It teaches them that they have control over their development.

This is the heart of what I try to give every young athlete I work with. It is also why ReadyCoach exists. Strength creates confidence and confidence fuels everything else.
