Thanks Emily, I appreciate your feedback and insights. Also, you are putting out great stuff on http://ballerwithinbasketball.wordpress.com/. Keep up the good work and I like what you put together on LTAD. I believe LTAD is an area that we as coaches need to spend more time studying, learning, and applying the best practices with our athletes.

Hi, This Emily from Baller Within Basketball. First of all, I like your writing style. Secondly, I like your perspective. I really believe it is a travesty and irreverent to the game to only see winning as the point/value in sport participation. The nature of sport imposes lessons on conflict resolution, teamwork, leadership, confidence, ect. but research shows that youth athlete don’t make these connections on their own. Coaches, mentors, parents, and peers have to help them make the broader connections. When that happens, sport is special tool not only for personal character development but society.

Annette thanks for your insights. I agree with you, the greatest change will occur when we can help all see that the approach you listed is the most beneficial approach for them to take. Lasting and impactful change only occurs when people decide it is in their best interest to make it, we can’t mandate our way to it. Which is why I believe one place to begin is to continue modeling the benefit through our actions.

I agree that charachter and being a champion off the sporting field is as important as being a champion on the field. It’s finding a way to cultivate both, so that athletes can still excel at the highest level and achieve their goals while enjoying the journey, and being the best person they can be. When coaches and team managers/owner can see that this is the only way to win, then perhaps we can get that change and perhaps it can be easy.
