@TSNVicRauter @coachdavegg You will be missed! Enjoy your time! It will take curling a bit of time to recover.

Right now, somewhere near you, a parent is calling their 10-year-old a champion. A prodigy. The next one.

They're wrong. And the science proves it.

There are no ten-year-old champions. There are only kids who need space, time and joy to find out who they might become.

I wrote the book on this. Literally.

@Ianwpg @ztisdale I’ll wait….

[Dan Christensen @recruitwithdan]

Coaches don’t just accept jobs.

They move families, routines, and futures.

If your interview process never addresses what daily life in your town and surrounding area actually looks like, you’re asking for uncertainty, and uncertainty kills good hires.

[Wayne Goldsmith @waynegoldcoach]

Nothing works.

A parent asked me: "What's the single best thing I can do for my son? He's 13, he plays football, and I want to help him."

I said: "Do nothing."

She looked puzzled.

"When I say DO NOTHING — I mean stop making his breakfast. Stop cleaning his boots. Stop packing his bag for training. Stop spending money on sports drinks and protein bars that don't work.

Teach him to cook his own breakfast. Show him how to use a washing machine. Stick a checklist on his wall of everything he needs in his bag.

Stop doing the things he can — and should — be doing for himself.

The only thing you really need to give him is the most powerful thing of all: UNCONDITIONAL LOVE."

What's the best "nothing" you can do for your sporting child today?

If you're a sports organization or an academic institution in our country, take a minute today to pay tribute to @KirstyDuncanPhD for her life work as an advocate for science, safe sport and learning.

@DemosKratosCA What a stupid bloody statement. Ignorance flooding from every pore of your being.

[The Sport Parent @TheSportParent]

The GREATEST sports parents are those who let the coaches coach, the officials officiate, are their children’s biggest support system, and spend more time and energy focusing on their child’s character, work ethic, and education, than anything else.

[Mike Anzano @mikeanzano]

All the best athletes I’ve coached didn’t have parents who treated them like they were the star in a sports movie.

They supported.
Focused more on character.
Kept it fun.
