This is the positive, non toxic way to tell someone to " toughen up" I appreciate it, immensely.
So over these coaches that yell like fools
Precisely. And it resonates so much better.
Precisely. It gives a reason and an explanation as to why someone should "toughen up."
This young coach is worth an entire college degree...these players will learn more from her than all of the professors combined.
Her family's damn proud of her I know her and uncle
Couldn't agree more! This type of mindset, is unique, she should get a full college classroom, if she doesn't has one already.
Lies
Coach Lawson's speech is excellent, but Yerushalmi's comment is ridiculous, "an entire college degree" from Duke? Really? Coach Lawson is going to teach the players more than their pre-med professors? You may be an anti-intellectual, however, Coach Lawson is obviously not. Coach Lawson is encouraging her players to embrace challenges, including their academics. Why can't you acknowledge the power of her speech without putting down Duke University? The "colleges are useless" trope is getting old. And she is 41, very nice of you to call that young, I agree with you there.
Her message is very good, but let's not get carried away.
My 7-year old heard this and said, "huh, I always thought it was easier to be a grown-up." Glad she threw in the parenting reference 🤣
In less than 3 minutes, she gave more wisdom than 4 years of classes. Bravo. 👏🏼 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙏🏼 Sent this to my kids immediately.
Pat is smiling at the woman that Kara Lawson has become❤
I sent this to my daughter who's playing for a D3 school in GA. She's having a hard freshmen year in the clasroom and on the court. Then I realized that's what I'm planning. I'm planning on life getting easier for myself in 2 years, but the reality is that it will probably get harder. So, I'm going to play the video again. This time for myself.
The Lord never said life would be easy on earth, it won't. We will all go through life's struggles, down days, up days. It was no easy for Him, it won't be easy for us. Never give up no matter what or how hard.

I showed this to my 6th graders today and I'm really hoping they took the message to heart!
Coach, this is EXACTLY what we all needed to hear. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Single mom! Truth spoken Kara! Handle hard and in all situations give thanks and praise Jesus.
One of the greatest speeches I ever heard
I awoke this morning and turned on my TV, which was on ESPN. A feature on Coach Lawson and this speech was already playing, and I watched the rest of it. It may not be possible to have such an important philosophy expressed in a more succinct way. I then watched the full video, and I encourage everyone to do the same. Thank you to Coach Lawson and to the person who thought to record and later to share her speech with everyone. I'm always going to root for you.
Do you have a full video link?

Every teenager needs to watch this, truer words have never been spoken.
Ms Lawson is changing peoples lives!! I sent to my son’s team… this 3 minutes should be heard by EVERY young person in the world!
so damn true. don’t get frustrated with slow progress. like climbing a mountain, don’t look at the top and say ‘damn, that’s so far away’. take it one step at a time and before you know it, you’ll be summiting
I can't stop listening to this speech! VERY well said and hopefully encouraging to all who hear it! Definitey encouraging to me and I'm forwarding on to my kids!!
Same here!
Ditto!!
This is almost as good as the "you are not special" speech at a high school graduation. No one is special...you have to work to get there.
I cant emphasize enough how wise, encouraging and inspiring her words are. ❤
Very well said coach. My kid could play for you any day or night. The easy bus didn't run in my neighborhood. Im glad it didn't.
This was incredibly inspiring. I’ve just finished six months of chemo, and the consistent thing I e heard from friends, medical staff etc is how well I handled it. I did - because I knew I would be better at the end, and that crying and being a victim doesn’t solve the issue. I took care of myself when I felt sick - but always looked for the positive. I got a therapist to help through the hardest moments, because I knew I’d need some support. You can tackle what’s in front of you. I know you can. Be good to yourself, you’re worth it!
Glad to hear you got through your treatments. 🙏 You're a warrior and you fought through one of the hardest things a person can through. Keep inspiring others!
Excellent message! I just showed this to my 12 yr old daughter. She struggles with various things due to ADHD and anxiety, and I worry about her ability to handle life as she gets older and life gets more difficult. I’m hoping she takes this message to heart and tries to handle hard better.
Don’t just show her once. Make it into a daily mantra for her. “How are you going to do hard today?” “I’m going to do hard better.”
She isn't alone. She can do great things. Trust me.her talent will reveal itself differently others but it's there. Trust me.
You have to show her how to though. The best way is with excersize, with sports, science fair, travel, all with good coaching and guidance for incremental wins. Get her to try new things where it's safe to fail. Just telling someone to "handle hard better" doesn't help them.
"Make yourself someone who handles hard well!" That's a LIFE lesson right there!!!
When I see young leaders like this, I KNOW our world will be just fine, with them in charge. Thanks, coach.
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻My therapist sent this to me on a terrible day! Thank you for this message!! I ♥️ this mental shift!! I’m going to handle hard better! Thank you SO much 🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻🙏🏻
Handling hard things better makes things seem easier! 😉
They just played this on WGN in Chicago the other morning. I loved it so much that I had to find it on You Tube to hear it again. And then I listened to some more of her video clips. Coach Kara is amazing. She is giving such a positive gift to her players and to people like myself who have heard about her inspirational speeches. You have a wonderful gift! Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
I watched the feature on ESPN this weekend on this speech. I have not been able to get it out of my head. I wish I had heard this years ago. Life changing for me.
This made me cry a grown middle aged man. God wanted me to see this Coach Lawson!! Thank you!!
This is nothing but the TRUTH!!!
I used this clip as part of my orientation talk to our first-year medical students.
I have listened to this over and over...it is now written on my white board at work giving Kara the credit. One of the best messages I have heard in a LONG time!
This is something I wish I was told 60 years ago when I was a teen. I learned the lesson the hard way.
Our SVP at my company played this speech at our Sales Conference this year. So inspiring and real!
Excellent message and what truth and wisdom in under 3 minutes!
When is your book coming out, Kara Lawson? The world needs this now!
You can tell she’s been through it, her voice says it all.
This is so true! It never gets easier, we just get stronger, smarter, and more resilient. Thank you!
Perfectly Put. 💙
This is much needed for everyone on this planet…….
I needed this today at age 39! She just coached me in life❤❤❤
True, and well articulated. We need to raise the next generation to understand this.
This is excellent advice for anyone and everyone no matter who you are and what you do. I've found in my life that this is so, so valid. Thank you very much for the reminder.
Thank you so much for this!! I believe this is something that can truly make a difference.
Just shared this with my 15 year old daughter. Such a great lesson.
She just hit the nail on the head!!!! And as you get older and have more things going in your life, it's like you are juggling Big Time! But take one day at a time and the Good Lord everyday for His help in handling all you have! Loved this from Kara, gave me something to think about... even at 68 years old, it's not easy! Everyday you have more to get done and your body says No, not today! Thank you Kara for that motivation, I needed it!
sitting at the bus stop waiting for the easy bus.... #priceless!
Excellent presentation by Coach Kara Lawson on how you navigate through life.
Pain and Struggle are the key parts of growth, but they do not need to include suffering. Many believe being uncomfortable is not right and hence wait until they are comfortable. Kara you hit the target, DON'T WAIT. Run towards the challenge (pain and struggle). Fun, joy, and gratitude come from focusing on what went well, often surrounded by pain and struggle. I love George Mumford's analogy of the hurricane. In the eye, the center of the hurricane, it is all calm, but outside the eye, the winds are howling.
I wish like hell that I would have had someone like this tell me all of these things in my youth. 💗💗💗💗💗🙏🙏🙏🙏
I had my Jr. High Football team watch this, twice. Players now come up to me and say, "Hey coach, when is the easy bus coming around?" I answer, "NEVER!". Appreciate these words of wisdom.
I can only hope she comes home one day.... This is the type leadership the Lady Vol program needs!
THIS IS EXCELLENT!!!
Thank you for sharing this... perfectly said.
Love it!! Hard work is the basic foundation of success. Without it , you will never maximize your potential. Love this perspective
I needed this and I have saved this everywhere I could on my phone. I never want to lose this message.
I love this message thank you Kara Lawson
Wow. This was amazingly said.
Great life message and foundational lesson For us all, especially our youthful future leaders. Don’t wish or hope for easier, strive to get better. Put in the work and select better coaches and mentors!
Endure hardness as a good solider! I was spelled bound listening to this!! I have sent this video to my children and friend's also. I spoke to my daughter in law about her marriage situation with my son. This message crosses all avenue's and roads!
I watch this frequently……it hits home …..what a great speech!!!!!!!
This is what we need… truth! Sharing this with all the young & old, life is hard, prepare yourself!
POWERFUL MESSAGE. I sent this to all three of my kids. My oldest recently graduated college and looking for a job. My twins just graduated high school and will be off to college. They all needed to hear this as they journey through life
Wonderful...a much needed talk with our young, but it's really for everyone. She spoke the truth.
OMG! I wish somebody had told me this in high school, not just college! My life may have been totally different instead I had to learn this over many years. This speech is GOLD!!
Apparently I'm late to this video, but this is SO good! Too many of us, me included at times, looks for the easy way out or thinks, "if I can just gut this out, it will get easier", and it never does. "If you have a meaningful pursuit in life, it will NEVER be easy". THANK YOU, COACH LAWSON! So good!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE This!!! I wish everyone could hear her. I wish I could have heard this when I was young. We grow up thinking “I can’t wait until it’s easier.” “After I do this, it will be easier.” “When I get this, it will be easier.” But it’s not. It never will be. And that’s ok.
Amazing listening to someone that really gets it ,
Kara Lawson for President 🙏💪
Incredible motivational clip! I was already bought into it and at 68 step up and challenge myself to be a better version of myself constantly! I have shared this and the sport center clip to a lot of people that I care about! I give my oxygen to the people that are winners and that I can learn from! Thank you Coach Lawson! #letsgoin24!!
If you have a meaningful pursuit in life, it will never be easy. That idea was expressed perfectly
I shared this with our FRC FIRST Robotics Team 4931. We will be using this as our theme and goal for this year. We will be the team “That handles hard well”. Thank you Coach Lawson!
Incredible. Resilience is everything. Thank you for sharing. ❤
Don't rest in the middle.Rest at the end.Keep on teaching good life lessons for their journey.
GO AHEAD COACH speak the truth! LOVE THIS
This really spoke to me. Thank you, so much. I needed this!
This applies to college, workplace, relationships. Great message - thank you, Kara! Handle hard better!
Well said coach this is tangible hard truth that can be used to succeed. Whoever needs to hear this I hope you heard her!! Keep going coach
Just cried watching this. I been struggling to find a job for a long time now. Had to move back in with my parents. It's rough. But I'm trying. This was right on time. I'm grateful I saw it. And I'm grateful I found this via Mirin Fader's awesome piece on Coach Lawson in The Ringer.
A LOT of food for thought! Thank you coach Dawson for the wise words!
I love this message so much! So many people are waiting for easy! Thank you for sharing this!
Incredible perspective on life. Thank you for this.
Pat Summit would be so damn proud!!!!
That is some great words from a basketball coach
Total respect for her
I can't listen to a lot of people for a long time but I could Listen to Kara forever
Amen!
True words that resonate no matter what age you are.
thanks for the encouragement!
We all have growth as part of our six human knees. Some of us more than others. This means we are always searching for the next thing and more growth or challenge. That’s one reason it’s consistently hard in my opinion.
I totally agree. We get better at doing hard things which is why I enjoy doing hard things especially when it’s on my terms because when life throws hard things that are not in my terms, I’m better at handling them.
Thanks for the great reminder and video!
Excellent!
Perspective is everything
Yes! love, love, love this!
I Love This soooo Much!! I'm also watching it over and over.
What a lesson What an inspiration What a word. God bless you
Coach Lawson, you're a rock-star! Keep inspiring, coaching, motivating. You are a treasured gift!
One of the best speeches ever!!
Compelling and will share with as many people as I can!
Kara is a star! Helping us come to grips with the realities that we are faced with.
Thanks Kara Lawson for this inspirational message! May God continue to bless and prosper you!
Great Message, Very TRUE!
Absolutely loved this!
Thank you so much. This hit home for me!!
Great speech. To those of us that have banged around a bit may have to listen to this 10 times a day but a message worth hearing
This Coach is Amazing!! I love her ! I honestly wish I could play for her I would run through a brick wall love her approach and the way she articulates things
thank you,,I think people missed the part about "preparing",,,, that helps us handle hard better.
What an awesome speech, it's so true , a message for all and learn from it. Hard work pays off in life .
