Summary
On today’s episode of Youth Sports United, I sit down with Carolyn Coffin, professional running coach, host of the “Inspired Soles” podcast and active sports parent, to chat about the role parents play in helping their children build healthy relationships with sport. Carolyn and I explore how sports teach kids life skills such as resilience, teamwork and risk-taking and how intentional parenting facilitates their personal growth. We dive into the impact of family dynamics on children’s experiences with athletics and how to avoid some common pitfalls that can limit their enjoyment and development. We discuss in detail the benefits of embracing a growth mindset, helping kids see the learning experience offered by failure and teaching why it’s important to separate sport outcomes from how one measures their self-worth.
