Changing the Game in Youth Sports:   TEDx Talks Presentation

From:  http://changingthegameproject.com/changing-the-game-in-youth-sports/

Some takeaways:

• The single greatest effect on performance is an athlete’s state of mind
• Youth sports used to be about children competing against other children; now it is often adults competing against other adults through their children
• Children play sports because it is fun; winning comes in way down the list
• Children quit sports when they don’t get to play, and when winning becomes more important than enjoyment
• 90% of children would rather play on a losing team than sit the bench on a winning team
• Competition is important, but being competitive comes from putting the needs and priorities of our children first
• We can all start changing youth sports for the better by learning five simple words (watch to learn what they are)
