Myths of S&C Part 1:

The Force-Velocity Curve of Exercises

Curves like this are taken as gospel, but are complete BS.

Being a Sports Parent is Hard.

Raising an Athlete is Hard.

Parents: As you start this fall sports season, remember...

- What you do matters.
- What you say matters.
- How you parent matters.

As a parent, you impact the culture of the team!

Here are 5 Critical Lessons for Sports Parents:

1. It is Your Child's Experience, Not Yours! Remember that this athletic journey is your child's, not yours. Allow them to own their successes AND failures. Support them without dictating their path.

2. Have a TEAM First Focus - As much as you love your child, remember it is a TEAM sport. It's all about the team, not just your child. Teach them the value of teamwork and collective success. Show them how to sacrifice ME for WE. Celebrate their teammates' Successes!

3. Embrace the Struggle of Team Sports - Accept the struggle of team sports. Embrace the highs and lows. Help your child understand the value of perseverance and resilience. Struggles are part of growth and character development.

4. Navigate, Don't Plow - Be there for support, not to clear all obstacles. Allow them to navigate challenges and learn resilience. Being a snowplow parent denies them the chance to grow.

5. Find JOY in the Journey - Find happiness in the entire sports experience. Celebrate the small victories and lessons learned. The journey’s highs and lows are equally valuable. Teach your child to cherish every moment, win or lose.

This is how much the support of coaches means to the @Olympics athletes: @LylesNoah

When coaches are a force for good their impact on athletes is transformational and ever lasting

Motivation is complex…

Researchers Deci and Ryan developed their theory of self-determination to demonstrate that motivation comes in different forms…from extrinsic motivation to intrinsic motivation…

-“I have to do this because others are telling me to”

-“I’m doing this because I feel guilty if I don’t/I feel a great deal of pride if I do”

-“I’m doing this because it’s important to me and I value it”

-“I’m doing this because it’s who I am”

-“I’m doing this because I enjoy doing it”

From extrinsic to intrinsic…sports competitors can borrow from all types of motivation…while recognising that enjoyment offers the greatest quality of motivation…
