Allowing your child to be coached up is a good thing
I see a lot of different groups trying To be Youth Sports Advocates or trying To give advice to Youth Sports parents And there's a couple real important Things as someone who's coached High School football high school sports Played division one level uh was an NFL Agent so and coaches Youth Sports now I've been at all levels so I could tell You a couple things number one if your Child is competitive let those Competitive juice is be fostered in the Direction that he wants to put them uh So give him the opportunity to be Successful uh help him to develop um Number two if your son or daughter does Not want to play sports eventually they Will be a time we'll be interested in Playing on a team when that come time Comes then you put them in that to that Situation uh number three there's a big Difference and people have to understand That between Recreation Sports Uh some level of travel and then Elite Level kind of I guess travel sport you Might call it there are three different Levels and each one is different um you Have to be able to know which one you're Putting your athlete into and make sure It's the right fit for them um for them To be able to play at that level and It's okay to stay at wreck if you if if That's where they're at it's it's okay To be a traval that if they happen to be
An elite athlete and want to play at That level then you can go ahead and put Them in that um but being competitive is A good thing working hard is a good Thing being coached up is a good thing And I think uh more parents have to Allow their kids to get coached up and Not always worry about um the Consequences of them being coached up But allow them to develop and be coached Up
