Eli Manning on youth sports: “I wanna ride with your dad on the car ride home.”

That line says it all.

Parents: the game ends when the whistle blows.

The car ride home should build joy, not steal it.

Be that parent.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Early specialization is overrated. Generalists excel over time.

Data on >34k stars in sports, music, science, and chess: Focusing on a single field predicts a faster rise, but cross-training foreshadows a higher peak.

The most successful adults start off as well-rounded kids.

[Reid Ouse @reidouse]

Youth sports are a mess. Not because of the kids—but because of the adults.

The loudest voices are often the ones who know the least.

And the people who actually try to do it right?
They’re the ones who get criticized the most.
It’s backwards. It’s bonkers. And it’s burning good people out.

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

Our youth system is beyond broken. We’ve devalued real coaches! Kids aren’t developed, they are overtrained, burned out, forced to specialize early & pressured to win at all costs. Structural change is needed! We don’t teach the game anymore! We promote the game & it’s killing us

Parents -

You wanna help your child to succeed?…

ALLOW THEM TO FAIL!

Some interesting stats from last year's (2023-24) transfer portal.🤔
- 1 out of 12 players who transferred went up in the portal, the rest transferred laterally or down.
- 46% of NCAA players who entered the portal will not play NCAA basketball in the following season

Growing up on a farm, I constantly experienced the miracle of new life. The wonder of it confirms to me Alma’s words that “all things denote there is a God” (Alma 30:44). I was pleased to share some thoughts about this today at @RootsTechConf.

The transfer portal is NOT your friend!

The most underrated coaching tool (in the history of the world), is the human heart!

[Matt Hackenberg @CoachHackGO]

Most teams that overachieve their talent level DO NOT have players:

▪️Making faces when they get subbed out
▪️Arguing with the officials
▪️Laying on the ground after they turn it over
▪️Moping on the bench

They have players that are focused on contributing to WINNING
