Why Good Youth Sport Coaching is Important

Good coaching in youth sports is extremely important, but not necessarily for the reasons you think. Sure, a good coach will teach kids the fundamentals of their sport and put them in the best position to succeed. They may find and maximize their players’ individual strengths while hiding their weaknesses. But in reality, good coaching is important because they create an inclusive and fun environment where kids want to go; an environment where every kid can thrive, succeed, and develop confidence in their abilities.

This type of coaching creates a generation of kids that are active and enjoy youth sports. With the sedentary culture we have adopted, physical education continuing to be cut in schools, and childhood obesity numbers on the rise, this has the potentially to legitimately change lives. Not to mention that active kids feel better, move better, behave better, and perform better in the classroom. Unfortunately, for many, youth sports have become over-competitive, with team outcomes and accomplishments outweighing player development and the experience.

When we work with children, we do our best to create that fun and inclusive environment they want to go to, while developing the underlying physical skills they need to become competent movers. These are the same skills they need to do simple, normal, fun kid activities like playing on the playground or riding a bicycle, and are the same skills that will allow them to succeed in their sporting endeavors.
