Description
In this weeks episode I am joined by Shane Smith. Shane has over 10,000 Twitter followers because he is a Dad, a sports scientist, a Primary School Teacher and an Elite Sports Coach. Shane has a wealth of professional and life experience thats spans over the last few decades and in this episode he shares his wisdom with the Asking for a Parent Podcast.
Shane has some wonderful insights into children’s sport and talks extensively about the drive for elitism, the exclusivity of some sports and the dangers of early specialisation. If you have only a vague interest in children’s sport, I strongly you recommend you listen to this episode. Here Shane explains some of the errors of the past when it comes to promoting participation and how we can better help children to stay enjoying sport for longer.
Shane also discussed his own journey through life where setbacks only made him more resilient and focussed in his pursuit of his dreams. This final Parenting Interview is yet another episode that features a Dad’s perspective but where there is something in this conversation for everyone.
Keywords: Participation and Fun in children’s sport. Managing a child with sporting skills. Supporting a less skilled child to stay involved. Keeping children’s sport child focused and not coach perspective
