Grit Leadership Overview
Hear from our founder, Kevin Broene, on how he used his decades of experience as an Athletic Director and Coach to build the tool that allowed him, and now so many others, to help transform coaches into experts and kids into grittier, more resilient young men and women.
"We just did our mid-season survey for our head football coach and it was amazing. Yes, the feedback was great and positive, but the vehicle that we used to get there (Grit Leadership) is absolutely incredible. I can't wait to use this with all of our coaches moving forward.
Well done! Your product is outstanding!"

"Coaches are in the business of feedback as we constantly give feedback to our players about how they play and how they practice. But a great coach also desires feedback from his players to better assess his ability to teach his sport and reach his players. GRIT Leadership helps our coaches receive meaningful feedback and grow."

"At Libertyville High School, Grit Leadership replaces clunky Google Forms with a simple, web-based platform that helps us gather midseason and postseason athlete feedback, respond faster, and consistently align our coaching behaviors with the championship culture we expect."
John Woods, CMAA
Libertyville High School (Libertyville, IL)
“By using this tool, I can ensure that our coaching staff is developing the necessary skills to lead with confidence and foster a positive environment for growth and success. With the information, we are able to have authentic conversations with coaches. Grit Leadership has been a game changer for our athletic department.”
Jason Malloy
Athletic Director, John Glenn High School (Westland, MI)
“Before Grit Leadership, I struggled to find an objective performance assessment tool. Evaluations can be subjective and perceived as negative when minimal evidence is gathered and used to make decisions. Grit Leadership has allowed me to collect feedback from the school community and coaches for analysis, planning, and growth purposes.”
