HOW TO SET A KID UP FOR LONG-TERM ATHLETIC SUCCESS . 👆We need to do a better job putting our kids in positions to have longer, healthier, more enjoyable, and more successful athletic careers. . Unfortunately, the long-term athletic development model is flawed in the United States. . This flawed system has been influenced in a variety of ways. I'll list just a few: . ▪️Showcases and AAU teams turning youth athletics into big business . ▪️Parents fear of their kids falling behind and missing out on a potential college scholarship . ▪️The thought that playing one sport all year will make you a better athlete in the long-run . Instead we need to do a better job of: . 1️⃣ Promoting playing multiple sports . 2️⃣ Encouraging more play with less structure . 3️⃣ Setting a Positive Example . 4️⃣ Teaching about hard work and responsibility . If you're a coach, parent, or teacher, please tag and share with anyone who needs to hear this ! . #pptma #youthsports #youthathletics #longtermathleticdevelopment #kidssport #injurypreventiontraining #trainsmart #strengthandconditioning #sports #hardwork #highschoolsports #collegesports #ncaa #siranitraining #longtermsuccess
