Real Stories. Real Mental Toughness. My name is Carol Robins, and I believe success in sports starts with a mentality. A mentality built upon self belief, the ability to embrace challenges, and to persist through adversity with relentless determination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOver the past 17 years I've been honoured to work with some incredibly talented young athletes, their parents, and coaches. I have been a part of championship-winning teams, worked with national level youth athletes, and toured the world as both a sports scientist and coach to countries including The USA, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Belgium, and The Netherlands . These experiences — both at home and internationally — have helped shape my approach to youth athlete development and led to my national recognition as Australian Accredited Sports Scientist of the Year 2024 .\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDuring this time, what I have witnessed is one universal truth: skill and natural talent may open doors for a young athlete, but it’s those who embrace challenges, push through setbacks, and keep working when no one else is watching who go on to achieve greatness — long after talent alone is no longer enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Resilient Young Athlete is the result of my years of experience, and the guide I wish every youth athlete, parent, and coach had.

That's why I've designed sections of this book specifically for you. With practical tips to help you continue to nurture their self confidence and resilience, you'll also learn how to guide your child through challenges, support them during setbacks, and foster the mindset needed for them to reach their full potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor Coaches:\u003cbr\u003e\nWe have the power to shape not only athletic performance but also mindset, character, and confidence.
