Troy and Moses Horne have crafted an invaluable guide for young athletes with Mental Toughness for Young Athletes.

The authors, drawing on their own experiences as a father-son duo, bring authenticity and relatability to their advice, making it accessible and inspiring for readers of all ages.

The book’s structure is one of its strengths. It presents eight proven mindset exercises that take only five minutes each to complete, making them easy to integrate into a busy athlete’s routine. The exercises are straightforward yet impactful, focusing on building confidence, handling pressure, overcoming setbacks, and staying motivated. By keeping the practices concise and engaging, the authors ensure young athletes remain invested in their mental training without feeling overwhelmed.

What sets this book apart is its emphasis on fostering a positive and growth-oriented mindset. It encourages athletes to view challenges as opportunities for improvement rather than obstacles, which is a lesson that extends beyond the sports field into everyday life. The Hornes’ writing style is upbeat and conversational, resonating with young readers while also offering valuable insights for parents and coaches.

The inclusion of personal anecdotes and real-world examples adds depth and relatability, showing how these techniques have been successfully applied in various situations.

Whether your child is just starting in sports or competing at an elite level, Mental Toughness for Young Athletes is an excellent resource for developing the mental skills necessary for success. It’s more than just a book about sports—it’s a guide to cultivating resilience, focus, and a winning attitude in all aspects of life.

A must-read for young athletes, parents, and coaches looking to build a foundation of mental strength and resilience. Practical, motivating, and highly effective.

Finally! There is A Mental Toughness Book For Young Athletes!

Hey Everyone,

Moses and Troy Horne here. Your mental toughness guides! We know exactly how you feel. If you are reading this you probably have a young athlete who struggles with in-game stress and maybe even sports performance anxiety. That is why this version was mostly written by Moses. As of the time of the writing of this book Moses Horne is a 15 year old elite athlete who can talk directly about the triumphs ans struggles of working towards being mentally tough. This is the only book that I know of with input from an actual young athlete.

A lot of the heavy lifting was done by me Troy Horne, his dad. I am here to help the parents understand how to help your kiddo navigate this mental toughness journey. For more on that make sure that you pick up the Parent’s guide version of this book – Mental Toughness for Young Athletes: Eight Proven 5-Minute Mindset Exercises For Kids And Teens In Competitive Sports (Parent’s Guide) It’s super necessary. We know where you are and we know how to help you help your young athlete find their mental fortitude. In the past we 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! Troy Speaking: 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 started my own team! JUUUUST KIDDING! (I probably should have, but I didn’t believe that I would be able to do it well. I lacked mental confidence myself I guess. We talk about that in the parent’s version of this book too.)

We took the long journey of ups and downs. We struggled to help our 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 BillupsTywanna SmithKeiko YoshimineEarl BoykinsJason Richardson and Kobe Bryant!

We studied what they did and said based on our interviews and we came up with a mental toughness plan that worked! We followed their journey and their advice. We wrote down what worked for our young athlete and we 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 we are going to share with you what we 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!
