The Youth Sports Problem
Well-Meaning Adults Are Accidentally Sucking The Fun Out of Sports
__________
Today, 70% of kids quit sports by age 13. The #1 reason they quit is because they’re not having fun anymore. However, it’s NOT just the “crazy” parents & coaches who are damaging youth sports.
As a youth sports organization leader,
are you tired of hearing…
My son should have made the A-team. The tryouts are political.
My daughter deserves a lot more playing time. She should be starting.
The coach is terrible. The players are losing a year of development.
As a youth sports parent or coach,
do you worry about…
Am I pushing my athletes too hard, or not hard enough?
My player's confidence is like a rollercoaster. How can I help?
My kids might not make the team if they don't do extra skills training.

I believe parents have the best intentions to help their kids succeed. Unfortunately, the best intentions can have unexpected and sometimes damaging consequences. This can cause issues not only for the child, but also for coaches, officials, and youth sports organizations.
I understand the difficulty in knowing how hard to push your athlete. You want your child to develop to their fullest potential and reach their dreams, but you don’t want to hurt your relationship or push them to burnout.
I also know the gut-wrenching feeling of watching your athlete’s confidence and love for the game being crushed minute by minute as they sit on the bench or get yelled at for making a mistake.
I made mistakes as a youth sports parent, but thankfully I learned many important lessons along the way.
I developed The Iceberg System to help youth sports organizations cut the drama, conflicts, and complaints so kids love playing and keep coming back season after season.
So, if you’re interested in The Iceberg System, please schedule a quick chat. I’ll answer any questions you have. I’d also like to learn about any issues or challenges in your association and what you’re hoping to achieve through parent & coach education.
