This podcast is about bringing parents, players, and coaches together around the most important aspects of the youth sports experience. You have thousands of teachable moments in the context of a 15-year window where kids are most open to learning and development - physically, mentally, tactically, emotionally, psychosocially, and in terms of core character. 

The goal of this podcast is to boost our enjoyment of the game and of the gift we have in our children. We hope to help parents, players, and coaches to make the most of the time we have with our kids, and to launch them into the world of adulthood with a solid toolbox of life skills.

#10 Being Intentional About Development

Jan 8, 2018

Some of the most important skills we learn in Youth Sports are those that we can take with us into life after sports: teamwork, sportsmanship, respect, work ethic, empathy, integrity... The list goes on. How are we being intentional about delivering these skills through our Youth Sports programs?

In this episode, we define some of the skills our players will take with them. We talk about their effect on a lifetime. We give solid examples, then we switch to a discussion of specific things the Damascus Soccer Club is doing to make the development of these character traits explicit. Follow along as we talk about the specific things we're doing, then leave a comment of your own to share what you or your Club is doing to make development intentional.
