“The only pathways kids should be on until well into their teens are footpaths. The idea that a 12-year-old is on the pathway to a professional sports career is ridiculous and speaks only to parental obsession , not reality.” theconversation.com/children…
“Kids will have periods where they plateau/or grow quickly,they improve rapidly/or get worse. All part o/t sporting process.The latter one is difficult for coaches&parents but reality. 1 thing is clear, current/early sporting performance isn’t a good indicator of future success.”
Wow we just scored a huge TRY!!! 🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉
