“COACH”
Sport’s is one of the fastest growing industries in America. You can visit almost any community in our country and see adults as well as children playing some kind of sport. It is important for the youth to understand that sports can be fun and healthy as well as a profession.
Sports talk is a tab that is dedicated to the venue of sports and youth. What are good practices for our youth in sports. How can engaging in sports help youth in other areas of their lives? Find out by reading these suggestions from coach baker better known as “coach”.
Sports’ is a team effort which enables you to trust your teammates with your person. It promotes associations and friendships; some long term and some short term.
sports requires discipline, obedience and order. There are rules and order that must be followed by every member of the team. This takes discipline, the kind of discipline that requires team members to listen and follow their authority even if you do not like decisions that are made. It can also mean your safety as well as the safety of your teammates.
Do not take for granted that because of your talent and/ or gift that you cannot be replaced. You must have a humble attitude, drive, heart and love for the game to succeed in the sport.
Always stay focused and work hard regardless of your ability to play. Coaches look for hard workers and those who can focus on a given task.
In this 21st century, we are seeing more female players gaming with Male players. This is acceptable and one must understand that the rules of sports have changed. There are many females who play just as well as males. However, at a certain age (only my opinion) the females should join all female teams in that particular sport. Males can get a little rough and over power the female players. Again, we must be fair.
Parents decide how old children are before they encourage their child to play organized sports. Hopefully parents will allow their child to exercise his/her right to choose how far they want to take their sport life. Parents should not live their dream through their child. Pushing them can turn them against the sport. Give them a chance to develop their game.
Parents need to be involved in their child’s sport life for encouragement, to boost confidence, watching them develop and just plain making them feel good about themselves through sports.
School sports programs help children with academics, social skills and self discipline. Student academics are more important than sports. Many schools require that a student keep a certain grade point average before playing school sports. Community teams require certain GPA’s.
Every one playing a sport is not going to become a professional sports person. The importance of having another career choice is smart in case sports does not become your career.
Enjoy playing the sport of choice. Make it fun for you!
