Competence first, confidence second.

For parents who want sports to build better athletes who handle hard things, take ownership, and think for themselves.

@CapatanAznMan @NFL_DovKleiman Sure

It’s sooooo bad to swat an arm away lol

@ZubyMusic Got my American green card last year and couldn’t be happier

@DiscussingFilm Here we go again with another butchered “adaptation.”

Go make something else and don’t call it Narnia next time

Just another attempt to ruin a beautiful Christian story that has stood the test of time

@dustinthedad Grew up playing street soccer in Chile and it’s some of my best memories ever

Made friends from day one of arriving there

[Boldinfluence @boldpath]

@crogers_htown Bro congrats on the awesome trip and on how well the documenting aspect is coming along

[Boldinfluence @boldpath]

@evagalanx Spain: kid has already developed a passion for it because it’s part of their culture

I.e. most of those kids are developing in unorganized play just as much as with organized play which is crucial

[Boldinfluence @boldpath]

@fitsoccerqueen Brutal lol

Crazy we’re still doing this

[Boldinfluence @boldpath]

@ReezyResells @coreyganim What kind of messages do you have it do?

[Boldinfluence @boldpath]

The phrase that can help to remember is;

“Stop rescuing”

Parents are constantly rescuing the situation without even realizing

[Dustin Burnham @dustinthedad]

Don’t prevent every bump and scratch.

Protect them from the scars.

That’s the middle road where resilient kids are built.

[Boldinfluence @boldpath]

@crogers_htown Bro you’ve become like that German kid who went viral during World Cup when documenting his trip through the us

Brilliant

[Boldinfluence @boldpath]

@dustinthedad Amazing. Looking forward to meeting her in a few weeks!

Also, my insurance was supposed to cover ours but now they’re refusing and apparently it’s around 15k……..

Nothing like yours though

[Boldinfluence @boldpath]

Past: Build the thing and if it's fantastic, you're a master.

Present: Accumulate enough bs certificates, and we'll call you a master

[Boldinfluence @boldpath]

@gregmushen Man I find all my time goes into building stuff and then get distracted not finalizing stuff that actually gets the work done

I find that they all say they can go and do the tasks but they all get stuck needing me to do the heavy lifting anyways

[Boldinfluence @boldpath]

@dustinthedad @tyromper Good place to do it

@TheS_Resource Great post, and funny enough, even beyond those ages, most coaches who do running without the ball are doing it wrong too.

The ODD time is fine... but most overuse it at all ages

[Boldinfluence @boldpath]

This is the true pandemic in sports.

Coaches who spend time making athletes get into shape by running them into the ground should be fired.

They clearly lack the nuance and iq to be high level coaches, OR, aren't willing to adapt with new knowledge.

Stop the old-school bs and adapt with the times

[AntiDoc @AntiDoc]

I still have a special hatred for every single coach (football, basketball, tennis…any that aren’t obviously largely about your “motor”) that is obsessed with conditioning to the point that they waste significant amounts of time on sprints or anything similar, especially if the team isn’t extremely relatively skilled.

There are a million ways to get athletes into building their work capacity and even “grit” without insulting their intelligence by spending time running back and forth.

I always thought my coaches were retarded for this but I’m open changing my mind.

[Boldinfluence @boldpath]

Yes, it's brutal stuff. And many many coaches still do this despite there being so much new information that shows how stupid it is.

You can develop their engine by mixing hard work with the actual game.

And in turn, athletes actually enjoy it WHILE also developing game skills at the same time
