Can self-esteem be given?

NO!
In 1969 Coach Jim Graham a great youth football coach discovered that self-esteem is not something you give, IT IS SOMETHING YOU HELP BUILD in others.

How? He believed in a no-coddling zone at practice. He preached that there are 2 steps to building kids self-esteem:
1. You give them something they can't do.
2. They work hard until they can do it!

Step # 2 says, that they (the children or you) work hard until they can do it. It is not given to them (you), it is earned!

What Do You See In You?
