Summary

In too many instances the culture of youth sports is one where performance and achievement are more valued than growth, development, team work and having fun. As parents and coaches we need to ask ourselves why? Why is winning more important than the growth and development of our kids? Youth Sports United brings together experts, coaches and parents committed to creating positive, development-focused youth sport cultures that accelerate our kid’s growth as people , not just players . And let’s be clear, I’m not against competition or winning - I feel both enrich the youth sports experience. However, I am against winning at all costs. I believe that when we prioritize growth and development, embrace mistakes as part of the process and create fun team environments, winning becomes the outcome of the positive habits we’re teaching. On the show, I speak to experts in youth mental health, supportive family dynamics, building resilience and confidence, the benefits of generalization, values-based coaching and so much more!
