At this time we mustn’t forget that youth sport is a critical part of OUR coaching & sporting legacy. We as adults have a responsibility to maintain it for future generations
✳️Please nurture it carefully: for without healthy grassroots, our sport/clubs may simply wither & die✳️
Remember:
In youth sport we must not just focus on the <1% of players who ‘might' make it at the cost of the >99% who could become lifelong participants.
It’s about fun, learning, enjoyment, socialising, engagement, legacy & the development of EVERY child - regardless of ability.
Really excited to see they finally have the cover image for the @rhccis “Handbook of Coaching Children in Sport” added! @RuthJeanes
Some great chapters in here around all aspects of child development and coaching…..

So - the final piece of the @rhccis jigsaw is now in place - the 29 page, 8,000 word index for “Handbook of Coaching Children in Sport” @RuthJeanes
Thanks to our 100+ authors and everyone @tandfsport for their input.
Here’s hoping it makes a difference to young people in sport.
Great to see our “The Handbook of Coaching Children in Sport” is getting closer to publication @RuthJeanes 👍
