Sports is just as much a mental game as it is a physical game. There are many professional athletes that never quite rise to the top and it is not due to physical injuries. The same can be said for children and teens that play sports.

It is not the most athletic child or teenager or adolescent that rises to the top of their game. It is the one who balances many components: stress management, anxiety, mood, anger, ability to focus, strength exercises, mental toughness, ability to focus, building confidence, rebounding from low points/ perception of failure.
