Not trying hard enough” is usually something else. It’s often fear.

Parents call it lazy. Coaches call it attitude. I’ve used both labels myself.

A kid who plays safe, freezes after a mistake or passes up the shot is often afraid of getting it wrong. It rarely looks dramatic. It looks quiet.

And “try harder” adds the pressure that caused it, so they pull back further.

Before you label it, check for fear. Ask what they were thinking. Then make the next mistake cost nothing.

Don’t ask why they aren’t trying. Ask what they’re afraid will happen.

Coaches and parents: do you see fear or lack of effort when a kid holds back? Tell me where you land below.

Happy Thanksgiving, Canada.

To the parents who trust me with their kids: thank you. It’s the best part of my job, and I don’t take it lightly.

To the players who keep showing up and working hard: you’re the reason I love what I do.

What’s one thing your kid did this year that made you proud? I’d love to hear it. 👇

Toughness is thinking clearly when it’s hard. Same read. Same decision. Under pressure.

You can’t lecture that into a player. You build it on purpose: tired legs, a defender who’s allowed to be physical, a score that matters. Then you ask for the same decision.

Don’t ask if your kid is tough. Ask what they decide when it’s hard.

I want to hear where you land on this. Do you agree, or do you define toughness differently? Coaches, parents, players: drop your thoughts below.

Your kid plays better when you’re not at the game.

That’s not an insult. That’s information.

When you’re there something changes. They tighten up. They play safe. They check your face instead of reading the game. It’s not about what you say — it’s about what your presence means to them. Your approval matters more than the game does. So they stop competing and start performing. For you.

The goal isn’t to stop coming. The goal is to become someone they don’t need to manage. When your presence feels like safety instead of pressure — they stop tracking you and start trusting themselves. That’s when you see the real player.

Most kids don’t miss and move on. They miss and carry it. Into the next rep, into the next drill, into the next game. The rep gets wasted — not because of the miss, but because of what came after it. Here’s how to fix that. One breath. One word. Next rep. Teach your kid a reset cue before the next rep starts. “Next.” “Reset.” “Go.” It interrupts the thought before it becomes a feeling. That’s the whole skill. Competing through mistakes doesn’t develop on its own. It gets trained rep by rep in exactly the moments your kid wants to check out.

Your kid made a mistake. They’re already on the bench. That’s not coaching — that’s a message. And the message is: mistakes aren’t allowed here. So your kid learns fast. Play safe. Don’t take risks. The bench is one mistake away. A coach who needs to win at U12 is already hurting your kid at U16. Development requires mistakes. The rep after the mistake is the most important rep of the session. Taking it away takes the development with it. The best youth coaches lose more early. Because they let their kids figure it out. That’s not losing. That’s building.

Most trainers start with drills. We start with questions. Showing up and running reps without knowing what you’re actually working with is backwards. At RBT we assess four things before we build a plan — skill level, decision-making under pressure, coachability, and competitive instinct. Two athletes the same age can look identical in warmups and need completely different training. The same drill does nothing for both. Assessment tells us where to actually start — not where we assume. That’s the difference between training that transfers and training that doesn’t.
