Today begins the roll out of the National Alliance of Youth Sports' Let's Talk Sports video. I had the joy of filming this video last month and hope to see it in every elementary and high school in America before too long.
The goal of Let's Talk Sports is to provide an opportunity for parents and their children to discuss the valuable life lessons that are learned when children participate in sports. At the end of the day, we want parents to not only ask their child "who won?" but "what did you learn today about determination? Or, "How are you demonstrating leadership on the team?"
In a world where we are competing with video games and cell phones when trying to connect with our children, this activity is designed for us to unplug and talk about lessons that will last them a lifetime.
The video is free and can be viewed at letstalksports.nays.org.
Take a moment and view the video. It requires that you sign up so that you can stop and start without losing your data. Please share it with every parent, coach, sports volunteer and any one who cares about children and values. Let me know what you think.
Let's begin the conversation!
