The Show Teeth Philosophy

The "Show Teeth" philosophy at LEAP FC embodies the spirit of determination, resilience, and positivity. We encourage children to "Embrace the Growl," facing challenges head-on with grit and perseverance, while also learning to "Cherish the Smile," maintaining a positive attitude and finding joy in every experience. This dual approach helps children develop the resilience needed to navigate both the playing field and life.

By fostering a mindset where setbacks are seen as opportunities for growth, we help children build self-assurance and a can-do attitude. When they learn to show teeth, they embrace every situation with a courageous spirit and a smile, which empowers them to overcome obstacles and achieve success. At LEAP FC, we believe that combining determination with positivity is key to preparing children for a bright future.

Origins of Show Teeth Philosophy

Growing up, Eric’s mom always said to "Show Teeth" before any big event, whether it was a game, a test, or just a regular day. It wasn't just about flashing a smile or showing grit, but striking a balance between the two. It was about resilience and toughness in the face of challenges, as well as finding joy in every moment. This simple phrase became a guiding principle shaping how e approached everything.
