We Can Do Hard Things: One Boy’s Journey to Finding Courage and Confidence Within
By Colton Sawyer and Ryan Sawyer (Authors), Aurora Guertin (Illustrator), Mark Divine (Foreword)
Join me, Colton, an 11-year-old boy, as I share my journey of overcoming self-doubt and finding resilience. Teaming up with my dad, Ryan Sawyer, we wrote this book to inspire anyone who has felt the weight of struggling to fit in or battling self-doubt.
In these pages, I share my story—a story that many can relate to. I've been through tough times, faced bullies, and struggled to believe in myself. But through it all, I discovered something incredible: the strength we need is already within us.
It all started with an amazing adventure—training with SEALFIT's Unbeatable Mind team of former Navy Seals alongside my dad. This experience changed everything. Learning to tackle hard things together, as a team, taught me the power of resilience and teamwork. I realized that this journey could be the key to empowering others too.
My message is simple yet powerful: You have the strength to build confidence, confront challenges, and rise above whatever comes your way. Let's embrace our inner strength together because we can do hard things!
Enlightening to kids struggling or not!
Loved that it was about a boy and his fathers experiences together. I am gifting this to a grandson who will love it! Kids struggle in school with bullying and expectations and this story is about how to overcome adversity with inner confidence. I highly recommend this read!

Exceptional story of a boy's heartfelt drive and determination
This is an impactful story of a boy's real transformational experience and growth. Colton had a real turning point at the age of 9, which helped him overcome self doubt and gain confidence. Now at age 11, he has shared his story in this book with hope it may reach other kids and help them work through adversity and challenges with the skills he has learned.

Strength that will inspire.
My daughter and I read We Can Do Hard Things together. It was so cool to see her inspired by Colton’s story. Kids can do hard things, and Colton’s story shows how preparation, finding your why, and having a good team allows hard things to bring out the best in us.

Testimonials
My own child has benefited tremendously and now my athletes are.
Ryan is amazing. He lives his teachings and brings his conversations to his athletes in such a respectful and reasonable way. I have witnessed 7-year-olds just as engaged as the adults in what he is offering them. My own child has benefited tremendously and now my athletes are. Great person helping already great people be present, accountable and comfortable becoming even greater!
My coach Ryan has mastered the art of living and holds nothing back when he shares his knowledge. Practicing the fundamentals I learned has been the most empowering and inspiring thing I’ve ever taken part in, and I will be forever grateful.
Prior to this program, I was very reliant on outside sources to validate my sense of self-worth and value in the world.
Having techniques and practices to help me look inward to meet and develop my own self-worth and value without external motivators has been huge.
I just completed the Competitive Edge 5 week course alongside 12 of my Advanced-Level teenage club swimmers. Their engagement blew my mind. They were craving Ryan and Heidi's wisdom on how to be better in and out of the pool, and they are already demonstrating their new life tools. Highly suggest for any coach with committed junior high and high school athletes.
I didn’t realize until the end of the course how much I had changed that even friends and family noticed!
I loved the 10 week integrated mindset program! I didn’t realize until the end of the course how much I had changed that even friends and family noticed! This program has helped me to have the tools to respond the way I want to in stressful situations or conflict. It’s also helped me to feel more in control of my own thoughts and feelings rather than to feel that life is controlling me. As a young mom with two little kids it’s been important to me to learn how to regulate my own emotions as well as to be able to teach that to my children. Ryan Sawyer’s energy and enthusiasm for these topics is contagious and his genuine interest in bettering the lives of others is motivating and makes you feel like you can do anything!
I had the opportunity to have Ryan mentor me thru the Integrated Mindset program, and wow what a great program. I have been studying bits and parts of Ryan's program for over 30 years. But he has put all that I have learned and much more into a easy to follow and yet comprehensive program that can change your life if you implement his ideas and suggestions. I highly encourage you to take this program and follow his lead.
I wish that I had had this program at a much early time of my life. Thanks for all of your hard work in putting this together and sharing it with the world.
I was able to implement them into daily practice immediately. The principles are so simple, they can be used by anyone. My teen daughter and young adult nephew are benefiting from what I learned. We’re all navigating the chaos of life. Having these tools makes everything easier, it helps make sense of the chaos.
This was such an amazing life changing experience!! It strengthened my wife's and my relationship after 17 years of marriage. Ryan gives you the tools to reduce stress, create success, and view the world from a different and richer vantage point. I strongly encourage everyone to take this course...!
Where to begin! Entering my 30's, I found myself trapped in a cycle of sadness and regret. I got in contact with Ryan and did a virtual meeting to make sure that the program would be a good fit for me! We went over the workshops and what the outcome could be when I put the effort in and practice.
I have continued to do everything and it has improved my outlook on life, it has improved my relationships with my wife and my children!! Thank you so much for being a great mentor and real human!!
