Lessons from My Coaches: What everyone needs to know about development in youth sports

from Let’s Talk About It · host Thrive Insights LLC

Sydney chats with Cindy and Braulio Rivera of Xtreme Volleyball Club about her journey to college volleyball. As a young player with a lot of potential but little confidence, Sydney took lessons at Xtreme Volleyball Club where she was encouraged to make mistakes, ask questions, and have fun. What Sydney learned at Xtreme prepared her to end up on one of the best youth club teams in the U.S., in the Ivy League, in the ACC, and eventually to become a professional volleyball player. The group discusses mental toughness, delayed gratification, and the role of parents in setting up their kids for success. This is a must listen for parents and players looking to level up in sports.
