Youth Development Through Youth Sports

At Sport4Growth we believe that each child should have the opportunity to develop into the best version of themselves and pursue what they truly want out of life.  Youth sports is an amazing platform to deliver this opportunity in a way where kids can experience all of the direct benefits of youth sports.

​

When I started this journey, I didn't appreciate how many ways kids can develop through youth sports.  As I dove into the research on growth mindset, physical development, speed development, community development, etc...a lightbulb went off...every kid, no matter how talented or not they are at a sport, can grow in ways that will serve them forever.

​

As I built the Youth Development section of the site, a second lightbulb went off...nearly everything it takes to help kids thrive in life are the same things that help them stick with the sport longer, be self-motivated to improve and perform and drive maximum development and performance.  There is no trade-off.  This makes sense for nearly all of youth sports, from recreational players to elite level players.

​

And so I kept researching the development that can happen through youth sports.  I listened to every podcast and read every research paper I could about brain development, brain function, performance, coaching and well-being.  I decided to make all of that research available in an approachable way that can be applied through youth sports to promote the best development possible.

​

The ultimate goal? To provide the next generation with opportunities to maximize their potential in life – thus creating an ever-improving world and fostering communities that continue to thrive.

Let us unite in the belief that when guided by purpose, sports can truly change the world for the better.
