Youth Sports Culture… Something Needs To Change

If you ask the biggest names in youth sports (The Jr. NBA, TeamSnap, US Youth Soccer, US Lacrosse, National Alliance for Youth Sports) what their most pressing challenge is, they will all say “Changing the Culture of Youth Sports” in one form or another. I know this because I have asked people at the top of these organizations that very question. Their biggest challenges are not “finding the next Lebron” or “putting together our next olympic team” or “getting athletes to peak performance”. Rather, they are trying to rein in sports parents and coaches so we can get the focus of youth sports back on kids. Click here to see how iSport360 is helping.

The Delicate Balance Between Year-Round Sports & Overuse Injuries

As we approach the transition between sports seasons, many parents are considering whether to keep their athlete training through the off-season. But it’s called an “off-season” for a reason: kids need to let their bodies and mind take a rest. So let your athlete take a rest from their main sport, let them try a new sport or let them explore new community activities. But regardless, please read the research here that supports taking a break from time-to-time and respecting the “off-season”.
