Youth Day is a reminder that young people have always been capable of more than adults gave them credit for.
It's a lesson we carry into every single session we run.
Because coaching children isn't just about teaching them to kick, catch or run.
It's about how you speak to them when they miss. How you respond when they're struggling. Whether you build them up or direct them down.
The coaches who leave a lasting mark aren't always the ones who produced the best athletes. They're the ones who made a child believe they were worth believing in.
On Youth Day, we're reminded that what we say to a child on a field, in a class or at a session, stays with them long after the session ends.
Coach with that in mind. Always.
Happy Youth Day, South Africa.
