Description
Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on the challenges of overplaying and underpreparedness in today's youth athletes.We delve into concerns surrounding the trend of youth overplaying, driven by increased organized sports activities and decreased outdoor playtime. Analogizing athlete development to building a bank account, we emphasize the importance of establishing physical readiness as the foundation before advancing to skill acquisition.Discover the concept of holistic athlete development, where nurturing athletes as whole individuals takes precedence over solely focusing on sport-specific training. We advocate for allowing athletes to explore various activities before specializing in a particular sport, fostering a well-rounded skill set and preventing burnout.Tune in as we explore strategies to address these challenges and support the healthy development of young athletes!Great resource on this for younger kids is @JeremyFrisch Unlock Your Athletic Excellence: Secure Your Future in Sports with Pro Coaching – Apply for Training HEREStay In the Zone
