02 Oct 2024

Description

Episode 16: Tansy Coats (Parent of 3/Elementary school teacher) - The struggles of juggling the weekly youth sports schedule of 3 children.  - Constantly dividing and conquering. "It takes a village." - The inequity in opportunity to participate in sports based on family structure, support, transportation, financial ability, etc. -Sports are supposed to be the great equalizer... but have we created yet another system of haves and have nots? - Setting boundaries as a family such as only playing 1 sport per season.  - What about the "other siblings" who may not play sports? Where do they fit into the equation? - Even at young ages, there's an over-emphasis on winning and a lack of emphasis on development.  - A comparison: Early tracking of children in education vs. Early tracking of children in youth sports.  - If we have trophies, rings, wrestling belts, "signing days," etc. for kids by the age of 10, what's left for them to experience later in life? - TOO MUCH! We don't have to celebrate every small victory in life like it's the Super Bowl - Are we really doing all of the "extra" for a social media post?  - And of course... MORE HOT TAKES!
