Elyse's Point EP6. The Young and the Restless: Youth SparrersEpisode 6: Let's discuss those karate kids (8-25 year olds)! This episode is speaking to competitive sport and NOT recreational sport. Youth sport and early sport specialization can be heavy topics -- and I'm using extreme examples (that do occur) to illustrate my point. Keep in mind I'm not stating "kids can't play competitive sport", but I am discussing how: 1) kids need to grow (mentally and physically) with the sport, and 2) what athletic identity is. It's good information, and a good compass for if you have youth athletes in sport karate! I include early 20s as "kids"... because...

The first episode sets up the background for the topic, and I don’t talk about the actual sport in much detail. The focus for you is to try and listen to the episode and apply it to your personal experience within the point sparring aspect of sport karate.

Elyse's Point Preface: What is Elyse‘s Point?Preface: The introduction to Elyse's Point Miniseries I am feeling restless about the effects that the pandemic has on sport karate (specifically point sparring)... as a result I have launched a podcast that discusses elements of the sport! The episode outlines the purpose, the goal, and the structure of Elyse's Point. It also reviews my credentials and why I'm worth listening to. It seems appropriate to launch this podcast during one of my favourite times of the year! Be safe everyone! Elyse Gorrell PhD Candidate; MPC (CSPA-ACPS) ...
