Getting our kids active is a joint responsibility of schools and parents. We have to work together to get kids out there exercising. It’s too important to just dump the responsibility on one party or the other.

Traits of the Champion Minded 🏆

Spot on! Life Skills!

Youth Sports should be first about teaching life skills. You win, you lose- that’s life. Rewarding participation with the SAME recognition as effort given and skill acquired, doesn’t teach life skills.

What do you think of the accomplishment?

Be your best!!!

Atheltes; Always be at your best because you never know who may be watching, a team/college scout, future employer, etc. Remember that you are a walking advertisement that not only represents your family name, but also that of your sports team, school, college etc.

3 ways in which parents and coaches can help kids grow a passion for sports:

1. Fun:
Always go back and remember why your child first started playing a sport - it was Fun!! This is something we as parents and coaches need to remember and keep in mind, especially once they start competing. Remember that when they first started, they didn’t sign up to compete, they signed up to play!

2. Finish on a high:
This is a strategy I use when working with kids: I make sure we always finish practice on a high, before they start to get tired and the fun aspect starts to drop. I also sometimes include a quick game at the end, making sure they leave with a smile and “we want more” attitude!
Great teachers and coaches have a great feel for this. Don’t drag out practices, remember coaches, it’s about them, not you!

3. Reward the right things:
Reward and compliment them on things like effort, attitude, work ethic, teamwork, social skills etc..
These are the life skills and values that are the ‘wins’, not the result on the scoreboard.
Don’t ask about results, or “Did you Win?”. That’s usually obvious to gauge. After a practice or a match, ask: “Did you have fun? and did you give your best?”.

It should always be about fun and building confidence. Helping them build great values and life skills!

Interesting graphic showing the ATP World Tour top 20 and the WTA top 20 point difference. Very similar with two players clear at the top, a handful in the middle and then most very tight down at the bottom.
