YOUTH SPORTS

Grit is a positive, non-cognitive trait based on an individual's perseverance of effort combined with the passion for a particular long-term goal or end state. So much of our lives is wrapped up in our Grit, but no one explains how to train this skill. That's where this class takes over. Students will learn how to handle those moments of pressure, how to dedicate time when not stressed, and how to channel those stressors into success! Class is broken down into 5 1-hour classes, each participant will receive a T-shirt and a personal Grit poster.
