In this episode, which is a sequel to our original Episode 47 on "Childhood Development in Sport," Matt explores three critical components of development in kids in sport:
- Performance anxiety
- Sport specialization
- The journey through the teenage years, especially around puberty
The biggest improvements and performance gains are always going to emerge from overcoming and navigating adversity and challenge.
It's all a part of the childhood journey and, as parents and coaches, it's our role to not only set up kids for their best performances, but also develop their longterm love of being active, and provide them opportunity to utilize the lessons that sport provides and apply them to all other areas of their life.
