Grit Pile Kidz Mission

Build Grit, Passion, and Confidence, One Day at a Time with the Grit Kore Konzept

In our fast-paced world, the mental health of our children is at stake. The relentless drive to “be the best” can leave kids feeling inadequate, isolated, and hopeless. As Jennifer Breheny Wallace writes in Never Enough, “When kids are made to feel that their worth is contingent on their performance, they begin to believe they are only as good as their last success.”

Grit Pile Kidz, built on the foundation of the Grit Kore Konzept, is about changing that narrative—teaching kids to be intrinsically gritty in both body and mind. We help them understand they don’t need to be perfect; they just need to keep trying, learning, and growing. Resilience is a life-saving skill—and it starts with us as parents.

Grit is more than just a word, it’s a way of thinking and acting—a fire that burns inside and fuels perseverance and passion for long-term goals. It’s a philosophy of life. Grit means staying motivated not by rewards or pressure, but by an inner drive to improve and grow. It’s about strengthening both mind and body, showing up daily, embracing discomfort, and learning to thrive through effort and challenge. No matter how difficult the journey may be—find a way.

Get started today and help your child build a balanced life rooted in strength, character, and heart—the Grit Kore way.

Through Grit Pile Kidz, our youth-oriented division, we teach kids that resilience, accountability, and teamwork start with daily habits. We help them understand their body and mind are connected, and that mental toughness, physical strength, and excellent nutrition build a balanced life. Our holistic approach combines sports and life lessons, empowering kids to follow their path, embrace failure as learning, and stay curious about what excites them.

From our book series to our hockey planner and workbooks, every resource is rooted in research with therapists, mental coaches, physical trainers, and NHL athletes. We’ve developed an inspiring program with a transformative impact – shifting the narrative from external expectations to personal growth and grit.

Kids will discover real stories of athletes who’ve overcome adversity, proving that success isn’t about perfection – it’s about persistence, passion, and believing in yourself.

Join us in building resilient, independent kids and teens – one day at a time.
