Dr. Jean Côté is a professor at Queen’s University in Ontario, Canada. His research primarily focuses on athlete development, coaching, and the role of parents in sport.

How does early specialisation impact long-term success? What role do parents play in shaping an athlete’s journey? And are we focusing too much on winning at the expense of personal development? Jean has dedicated his career to answering these questions, challenging the myths around talent development, and advocating for a more balanced approach to youth sport.

Expect to learn why sampling multiple sports benefits young athletes, the dangers of over-specialisation, how transformational coaching can foster intrinsic motivation, and the role of sport in developing confidence, character, and life skills—and much more.
