Only 3 things matter in youth sports
- Love of the game
- Character development
- Skill progression
... in that order ..
Sport is an undeniably great medium to inject life lessons into our kids
The lessons I learned playing sports as a kid laid a foundation for the character I carry today as a 32 year old man. I am beyond grateful to have had parents who “got it” and optimized my experience for character development above all else.
I’m striving to give the same to my kid - and I want to help you do the same.
Unfortunately, 80% of kids who play sports quit by age 12..
robbing them of the opportunity to continue playing a game they once loved
and to further build their character through it.
My goal is for us to fix this issue moving forward.
In youth sports, only 3 things matter (in this order!):
- Love of the Game
- Character Development
- Skill Progression
Follow me on this….
If we make sports fun..
they maintain and grow their love of the game
they want to play
they want to practice
they practice on their own in the back yard
they're engaged
meaning they actually care when coach talks
because they care about the game and want to get better
so they listen to the character development stuff
we teach them about how to work hard
how to practice hard
how to be a great team mate
how to respond to adversity and failure
how to compete and win
which makes it more fun, by the way,
and because they're having fun
and they want to come back
and they understand how to work hard
and how to practice hard
and how to work as a team
and how to compete
Aad how to learn from mistakes
then the output of all of that
Is them getting better at the game!
and then…
THIS IS THE MAGIC PART RIGHT HERE
as they get better at the game
the game becomes more fun
because everything is more fun when you get better at it
and because they’re having more fun
they play longer
providing more opportunity to build character
which ultimately makes them better at the game
and the cycle continues….
… it’s a beautifully vicious cycle
and it’s my mini manifesto on sports.
In today’s episode I go deep on this!!
