FATHER & SON TEAM
MOSES & TROY HORNE
The Father: Troy Horne is a dedicated father who took on the world of youth sports with a mission: to help his son thrive under pressure and chase his dream of playing basketball professionally. This is the dream that inspired the brand Mental Touhness for Young Athletes.
With no background in the sports training, Troy relied on his deep understanding of performance gained from a successful career as a professional musician, Broadway performer, and television actor to building confidence in youth sports. He believed that the principles of success—discipline, skill mastery, relationship-building, and strategic positioning—transcended industries.
Driven by this insight, Troy set out to discover what it truly takes to support a young athlete’s journey to the highest level. Through hands-on experience, dedicated research, and insightful conversations with leading experts in sports psychology for young athletes, Troy and Moses developed effective mental toughness training and mindset coaching strategies. Together, they uncovered the “code” to building real mental resilience and confidence in youth athletes.
Their journey resulted in a proven framework that now empowers young athletes and their parents everywhere. By blending sports psychology, mental performance coaching, and mental toughness training, Mental Toughness for Young Athletes helps the next generation of competitors gain the confidence, focus, and tools needed to succeed in youth sports—and in life.
The Son: Moses Horne is a standout young athlete whose journey from fifth-grade beginner to college basketball player has been anything but ordinary.
Along the way, he’s interviewed legends like Kobe Bryant, Jason Richardson, Earl Boykins, and even trained with NBA Champion Chauncey Billups—soaking up elite-level insight from the best in the game.
What sets Moses apart isn’t just his talent on the court, but his deep understanding of the mental side of sports—wisdom he’s gained directly from the greats and from real-life experience. In this book, he shares powerful lessons and mindset tools from a true youth athlete’s perspective—making it the only mental toughness guide of its kind and a great tool for sports psychology for youth athletes.
