In this episode of The Leadership Launchpad Podcast, Kevin Pierce explores why confidence, not talent, not gear, not even raw skill, is the most valuable currency kids can carry. Through personal coaching stories and real life examples, Kevin explains how confidence shapes performance, resilience, and leadership on and off the field.

Too often, kids with all the potential in the world fall short because their confidence bank has been drained by criticism, comparisons, and pressure. Kevin shares the small but powerful ways parents, coaches, and mentors can flip the script: by catching kids doing things right, giving them responsibility, normalizing mistakes, and modeling belief in themselves.

If you have ever wondered how to help kids step into their full potential, whether in sports, in school, or in life, this episode is for you.

What you will learn in this episode:• Why confidence is more valuable than talent• How adults accidentally drain kids of confidence• Simple ways to build belief that lasts a lifetime
