The Star Is Inside (eBook, ePUB)

Building a Better Future Through Youth Sports

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Many kids leave sports at an early age because of the deprivation of joy by parents and coaches. It is time to ask ourselves, are our kids enjoying team sports? Are they developing the behavior that will allow them to thrive in their adult life? Is the practice of sports collaborating in the construction of these life skills?

The youth sport competency model describes how values (beliefs) and competencies (behaviors) influence youth athlete's performance, beyond their technical, physical, and mental abilities. Youth sport organizations have a tremendous opportunity to implement a competency-based training program to help young athletes develop values and life skills they will use in their adult life.

We can achieve outstanding results if we can change the experience of young players playing sports. We can create more awareness and bring higher consciousness to children's sport. We can do it for the good of our children and future generation of great players and athletes.
