Yesterday a friend of mine stopped me in the street and within 5 minutes I was watching his 9-year-old try to do a press-up.
Rugby is physically demanding and kids grow up quickly. I’d be worried too.
The world of physical development is full of resources but little reassurance. Content over context. PDFs, videos, and conferences but no connection.
The hard part is not the resources. It is helping coaches, teachers, and parents to commit to what they should do.
To bring parents, teachers, and coaches into the conversation.
Here are three prompts:
What do you stand for? What’s upstream from teaching kids to compete and helping them develop?
What’s downstream? How do you want your kids to show up?
Focussing on where you are now. Which bit is bothering you?
I will gladly facilitate the first 5 meeting requests I get from coaches, clubs, or organisations. We can arrange details here.
