Grit Leadership Overview
Hear from our founder, Kevin Broene, on how he used his decades of experience as an Athletic Director and Coach to build the tool that allowed him, and now so many others, to help transform coaches into experts and kids into grittier, more resilient young men and women.
"We just did our mid-season survey for our head football coach and it was amazing. Yes, the feedback was great and positive, but the vehicle that we used to get there (Grit Leadership) is absolutely incredible. I can't wait to use this with all of our coaches moving forward.
Well done! Your product is outstanding!"

Jason Buckley
Athletic Director, West Aurora High School (Aurora, IL)
"Coaches are in the business of feedback as we constantly give feedback to our players about how they play and how they practice. But a great coach also desires feedback from his players to better assess his ability to teach his sport and reach his players. GRIT Leadership helps our coaches receive meaningful feedback and grow."

“By using this tool, I can ensure that our coaching staff is developing the necessary skills to lead with confidence and foster a positive environment for growth and success. With the information, we are able to have authentic conversations with coaches. Grit Leadership has been a game changer for our athletic department.”
Jason Malloy
Athletic Director, John Glenn High School (Westland, MI)
“Before Grit Leadership, I struggled to find an objective performance assessment tool. Evaluations can be subjective and perceived as negative when minimal evidence is gathered and used to make decisions. Grit Leadership has allowed me to collect feedback from the school community and coaches for analysis, planning, and growth purposes.”

Unlock The Ability To:
Control the Controllables
Though we can’t control everything in the lives of those we lead, Grit Leadership can help you change the narrative around fear of failure, need for immediate success, and resistance to taking on tough challenges.
Instill a Growth Mindset
Resilient people have hope and resolve that things will get better regardless of the situation. Learn about how teaching and leading with a growth mindset can change the narrative and self talk inside our students’ heads.
Improve direct, in the moment feedback skills
Learning how to give kids positive feedback on their process, not their outcome can make a huge difference in strengthening their resolve, building their emotional stamina, and developing a growth oriented mindset.
Focus on the Process, Not the Outcome
When it comes to developing your reward systems and program structures, building to emphasize the process is a new way of thinking. Learn how to set up your program to be process focused, and emphasize the virtues that last a lifetime rather than game results that last for a day.
Become the Guide, Not the Snowplow
Every hero needs a guide, and great guides give the hero space to struggle and make their own choices, leading alongside instead of plowing the way ahead. As leaders, educators, and parents, it’s not our job to make our kids happy, or give them everything they want; it’s our job to bring forth their full potential.
Find Success Beyond Winning
Success is helping others be the best versions of themselves. We can be successful without winning games, and we can be unsuccessful while winning games. Measure success by what we can control and remember that success is about becoming our best.
Lead Your Coaches with data-driven decisions
Use Grit Leadership’s evaluation software to gather information and feedback from people you are trying to impact the most — students. The software provides you all you need to have positive, data-driven, 1-on-1 leadership advancement meetings.
