Coaching the young human animal: A big picture orientation
Modern athletics has a lot to offer and for many players and coaches, it’s a path to improved health, community, and enjoyment. And while it’s often a positive force in young people’s lives, sport also has a shadow side that threatens to compromise the entire enterprise. In this 2 hour session, we’ll take an expansive view of athletics in the context of modern society. With an emphasis on health and relevance, we’ll explore the history of the human body, functional movement, rewards, stress, and experiential design. This session may well revise your approach to teaching, coaching, and mentoring young athletes, as well as athletes of all ages.
