For youth sports: It does not matter how good a kid is at a sport until after they go through puberty. There is no such thing as an 11 year old sports star. Do not over-index on early promise. Focus on exploration, fun, and cultivating interests. Not performance.

Thoughts from my morning walk in Golden Gate Park - Coaching Eye

A great message for all young athletes from Brandon Starc. "I wasn’t super successful as a little athlete. So a little inspiration for those that don’t find the top level at every age group." 👀tinyurl.com/3kbaz3vz Australian Institute of Sport World Athletics AustralianAthletics Athletics NSW Little Athletics NSW

"Mitchell played a big role in being a inspiration for me because he was very successful as a young athlete and as I grew up, he had 'been there done that' and that was something to aspire to." Australian Institute of Sport Cricket Australia Cricket NSW AustralianAthletics Athletics NSW
