Young people need models, not critics

Many of us accredit athletics for valuable lessons, lifelong friends, and state championship stories to exaggerate for years to come. The driving force of a parent can force their value and love of sport too hard leading to sport falling out of favor for the kids very fast. In fact, 70% of all young people are done competing by age 12!

Parent and Coach Zach Even-Esh joins Power Athlete Radio to discuss the involvement a parent has in their child’s athletic career and the impact beyond their competition years. Zach’s seen it all as both a gym owner and strength coach, and now he shares his experience as a father of youth athletes. Listen in as Z shares what’s appropriate for a parent to ask a coach, best practices for managing your relationship with a coach, and when a parent needs to draw a line to protect their young athlete from falling out of love with their (scholarship) opportunity.
