About this event
A though provoking evening with youth athlete development educator and coach, Dr Craig Harrison. A ‘must see’ for parents/caregivers with kids who love their sport, and professionals working with youth athletes.
In our hyper-competitive world of youth sport, great tension between playing to win and having fun is affecting the young athlete’s experiences in sport. There are many ways we can do better by simply having a better understanding of growth and development.
Between the ages of 11-16 years, a unique stage in physical and psychological growth plays a crucial role in how a youth athlete engages in sport. Drawing from the latest research, Craig uses real-life stories to make this fascinating subjects easy to understand with practical tips to support your child to take on challenge and find their potential.
