Joe, thank you for reading and sharing my article, and for taking the time to engage so thoughtfully. I appreciate your perspective. I agree it’s part of our role to help athletes learn to give effort when it’s hard. Where I still stand firm is that effort isn’t a moral virtue—it’s an outcome shaped by environment, safety, and clarity of purpose. Meeting athletes where they are is part of helping them find that effort, not demanding it as proof of character. Thanks again for adding depth to the conversation.
