THE YOUTH ATHLETE

The initial trajectory of my coaching career began with children where I spent over a decade teaching martial arts and coaching sports. I learned a great deal within that time, but in the end it took more from me than it gave. I retired that part of my career but have since then revisited it after 6 years. Recently, preferable circumstance coupled with a remarkable clientele has shifted my perspective causing me to return to where I originally began. On this episode of the unearthed podcast, Dave and I discuss what it means to coach younger athletes and the impact it can have on the psychology and perception of their sport.
