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!","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/youth-sports-united-7649146"},"episode":{"title":"11.

Recently, Kayla has expanded her practice to support parents navigating the youth sports landscape. She believes that while athletes get coached and coaches get trained, parents are often left to figure it out on their own - despite playing a critical role in shaping their child’s experience. During our conversation, Kayla shares a lot of insight into the benefits of approaching the role of youth sports parent with a learner’s mindset. We discuss navigating vulnerability and failure, strategies to manage the pressure and expectations our kids may be feeling and the importance of understanding your “why” when encouraging your children to sign-up. This conversation is a must-listen for parents looking to explore their own relationship with sports to better support their children. That tension and uncertainty you’re feeling is normal, and Kayla and I explore how you can recognize it and pivot to create really positive sports experiences for your kids.
