@PGloverWBA Thanks for everything Glover. You’ve been a massive part in laying the foundations for this to be possible. Was lovely to see you and the girls today.

[Mo Ahmed @MoAhmed98_]

@WBABlind @PGloverWBA Glover has been there since the first day that I turned up to West Brom at the age of 12. He’s someone who has given a huge amount to the foundation and the sport in general. A top coach, and a wonderful man besides. He’ll be a huge loss for sure but wish him nothing but the best

We have a connection problem.

-In 1996, the average teen went out with friends 2.5x per week. In 2020, that number was 1.5x.
-Kids in 2019 spent 3 hours less per week socializing than kids in 2012.
-Between 2003 and 2022, face-to-face socializing among teenagers fell by more than 45%

This isn't just a trend; it's a societal overhaul. We're living in the "antisocial century."

Consider this: Teenage drinking has dropped precipitously…

For 10th graders, past-year alcohol use fell from 65% in 1997 to 26% in 2024.

Great, right?

The main driver? Less socializing. Less hanging out. Less parties, less group gatherings. Less drinking because more kids are spending time alone.
Less socializing means less "doing" together.

Less of those seemingly trivial interactions that build connection.

From 2003 to 2020, young people ages 15 to 24 experienced a nearly 70% reduction in time spent in-person with friends, from about 150 minutes per day to just 40 minutes per day.

As I outline in my new book, we form bonds through shared "in-between" times and novel experiences. Long bus rides, water cooler talk, killing time together. Playing sports, taking risks, facing challenges. This combo turns 2D caricatures into 3D people. We build trust. We learn to rely on each other. These aren't luxuries; they're necessities.

We have a fundamental human need to belong. It's a cornerstone of intrinsic motivation, a key ingredient for a meaningful life. We're wired for connection. When we feel connected, we're not just happier; we're more resilient.

Modern psychology tells us we outsource emotional regulation. We share the load. Instead of feeling the full burden of taking on a challenge or figuring out how to get through a verbal beratement, our brain counts on others to help us cope.

When we know we can share the burden, our perception of what we can handle changes. The daunting becomes manageable.

We need to foster environments that prioritize genuine connection over digital distractions. This isn't a quick fix; it's a cultural shift. We need to start having the hard conversations, now.

This isn’t about demonizing technology, it’s about recognizing the human cost of its unchecked influence. It’s about understanding that performance, resilience, and wellbeing are all rooted in our ability to connect, to belong. We can’t optimize human potential in isolation. We need each other.

It's why Belonging is one of the 3 pillars in Win the Inside Game. When we belong, we thrive and come through in the clutch. When we feel isolated, the burden overwhelms, and we choke.

We’re setting our teens up to choke.
