You Have to Let Your Kids Suffer: Gary Downs on Raising Elite Athletes

On this episode of The Pure Athlete Podcast, we have a real conversation with Gary Downs, father of Caleb Downs (Ohio State) and Josh Downs (Indianapolis Colts). A former NFL running back himself, Gary shares his proven approach to raising elite athletes and parenting football players through faith, discipline, and adversity. Gary discusses his proactive approach to developing his kids’ skills, work ethic, and character, and the importance of letting his kids suffer by allowing them to face challenges, earn their opportunities, and grow through tough situations. He explains why he sometimes moved his kids off the A team to put them in environments where they could play, build confidence, and develop as leaders. Alongside his wife, also an elite athlete, Gary set high standards for excellence, faith, academics, and athletic development. He opens up about the challenges of being both a coach and a parent, the value of never criticizing a coach, and how adversity and struggle build champions both on and off the field. -------------------------------------------- 👇CHECK THIS OUT 👇 This episode is brought to you by Booster, the leading fundraising partner for middle schools, high schools, and sports teams.
