Participation in competitive sport is an important opportunity to grasp the nuances of how the sport is played and what works best against a variety of opponents style in games and matches. Crippling errors in developing junior athletic skills are:
a) Either the coach, player or parent interprets mistakes, errors, and experimentation that are a natural part of the learning curve process as failures.
b) Practice is one arena, being on the playing field, court, arena at game time and tested mentally, physically, technically, presents an emotional shift that time and experience enhances.
c) The player becomes so programmed that he/she doesn't have an opportunity to develop a unique style thus differentiating him/herself from other players.
d) Winning becomes so seemly vital at an early age that the results of competitive pressure to win becomes the standard not learning, growth and enjoyment of the activity. Is it a surprise that the burn-out rate for junior athletes is extraordinarily high?
Health: junior athletes that set their personal goals for performance and having those goals
celebrated by coaches and parents will be inclined to have more energy, joy in playing.
