What does it actually take to support a young athlete from the sidelines? 🏟️🧠
Earlier this month, our Psychology Undergraduate, Mikal, led an insightful workshop together with our founder, Carl, on youth sports psychology that sparked incredible conversations on the floor. Parent Andrew and Coach Megan both highlighted the biggest takeaway: the absolute necessity of digging deeper into our athletes’ feedback and prioritising their psychological wellness.
Together, we explored the realities of early specialisation, the critical parent roles on the sidelines and the crucial difference between physical fatigue and true emotional burnout.
Moving forward, we hear your strong interest in learning how to spot the early signs of anxiety and approach these tough conversations at home.
Indeed, every child is unique, while there are many resources available online, trusted professionals including our coaches at ATHLETIC INC are always available to provide you and your child with a highly tailored approach.
