PARENTS: Pay attention to the banners at your kid's sporting events and the ads inside the programs. Support these local businesses because they're supporting your kids!

The Anxious Generation is the most important coaching book of the year.

It indirectly identifies the greatest issue facing youth sports.

Here is the story on the death of the “play-based childhood”:

Parents, coaches, and players all have a role in minor sport. The game and arena is much more enjoyable when everyone follows the process.

[Brad Stulberg @BStulberg]

Don't worry about being the best. Worry about being the best at getting better.

All you can control is your effort. You've got no idea what is going on in the lives of other people and vice-versa. Focus on continual improvement. Let the chips fall where they may.

[Topher Scott @HockeyThinkTank]

Every parent that has a kid in youth hockey - or youth sports in general - needs to read this article. It should be required reading.

“Don’t be a palms up guy.”
Worse thing you can do as a man is put your palms up. It means I don’t know, I don’t care, it’s not my fault.

[Kevin DeShazo @KevinDeShazo]

Along the way there will be struggles, battles, obstacles, adversity. It’s all part of the process.

Rather than complaining, whining or giving up, choose to be grateful for the journey. It’s forming you into who you were meant to be.

Gratitude is an advantage. Own your mindset.

My 4 year old daughter plays soccer.

Her team has no coach and half the players don’t want to play.

The opposing team is running sprints with parachutes on their back.

Welcome to youth sports in 2023.

Giannis is outstanding: “There’s no failure in sports. There’s good days, bad days, some days you are able to be successful, some days you are not, some days it is your turn, some days it’s not. That’s what sports is about. You don’t always win.”

A little struggle is good for growth. In The Secret Wisdom of Nature, Peter Wohlleben writes about why trees need to struggle (and I think it's similarly true for humans):

When he sends a player right back onto the ice after a mistake, the player may view it as him being easier on them, when it’s actually the opposite.

“They’re not sitting on the end of the bench,” Gallant said. “I think that’s the easy way out.” https://t.co/ieiirp7DTo
