Resilience and Sports

Part 20 of Davidson Gifted Perspectives, a video series that examines a number of different gifted-related issues and viewpoints.

Recently, during a virtual event, one of the families in the Young Scholars program asked if resilience and grit are transferrable from sports to academics. Many families can relate to this one. This family shared that they can see their son working hard to improve his basketball skills, but he doesn’t work to the same level as his academics. Our Director of Family Services shares her thoughts and insights into the situation.
