Overprotected kids become unprepared adults.
Dawn Staley said it.
And every parent needs to hear it.
Here's what parents get wrong about raising resilient kids.

Kobe Bryant once said:
“I have nothing in common with lazy people who blame others for their lack of success. Great things come from hard work and perseverance. No excuses.”
"Excellence is success over time..
When you're a college player your whole goal in life is to play in the NFL so you have this built in motivation..
Some players lose their motivation because they just wanted to play in the NFL rather than being great in the NFL" ~ Coach Saban #PMSLive
“To be successful at anything, you don’t have to be special. You just have to be what most people aren’t: consistent, determined and willing to work for it. No shortcuts.”
— Tom Brady
“Too many kids today are afraid of failure.” - Doug Collins
What happens when kids never learn to fail?
They quit when it gets hard.
Because no one let them practice getting back up.
LEGENDARY QUOTE:
#Rams head coach Sean McVay said in order to grow as a person you need to struggle in life.
“Show me anybody that's great in anything they do, I'll show you somebody that's persevered, demonstrated that mental toughness to overcome some obstacles and adversity”
Saban didn’t win 7 titles by accident.
He reminded his players every day:
Entitlement? Nothing.
Somebody owes you? Nothing.
Lose your discipline? Nothing.
NOTHING is more important than being your best.
That’s the standard.
Insane: Nick Chubb is SQUATTING 610 POUNDS on a tsunami bar with EASE.
Chubb is somehow still a free agent despite being in the best shape of his career.
Countless teams would benefit from having him.
