For coaches of youth sports, it’s easy to see the valuable lessons kids learn through the game. As a parent of a child who plays sports, you understand the hard effort and heart she puts into the game, no matter how competitive the league. Sports teach our children resilience, leadership, teamwork and time management skills, all while having fun.
But sometimes, being a youth athlete comes with challenges. Feeling like they didn’t play their best can really get a kid down. Losing a game or a tournament can weigh on them. And additional pressures on today’s overly committed kids can increase stress and anxiety.
It’s at these times when it may become difficult to see the benefits kids get from playing sports. As adults, many of us powered through these challenges in our own youth. We see how sports teach our kids valuable life lessons and make them better, stronger people as they grow.
