We welcome Ben Pullen, PhD paediatric strength and conditioning and Founder of Youth Exercise Centre, to discuss the intricacies of coaching young athletes and the role parents play in this journey. Dr. Ben shares his wealth of experience from working with youth athletes and provides valuable insights for parents and coaches alike.
Key Topics:
Dr. Ben discusses how well-meaning parental involvement can sometimes hinder a child's development.
Younger children may benefit from their parents being nearby, while teenagers might thrive when given more independence.
We break down why parents should avoid looking for instant results in their child’s athletic progress.
Consistent, long-term development is key to building strength and improving performance.
Tune in to hear practical advice and insights for parents, coaches, and anyone involved in youth sports development!
