  • Excellent topic

    I really value Scott’s work, and this topic is such an important one. The first episode delivered a strong message, though I did find parts of Forsyth’s delivery a little challenging. While it’s clear she’s knowledgeable and passionate, at times the presentation style felt more focused on demonstrating her expertise than communicating the message, which for me made it harder to stay engaged. I’m looking forward to seeing how the conversation develops in the following episodes.

John O'Sullivan: Don't Make the Talent Mistake, Coaching the Coaches & Parent Accountability
Q: How did you find yourself from someone who saw challenges in the youth sports space to someone who decided to try to make a change?
O'Sullivan explained how burnout in his coaching role led him to create resources not just for himself but for other parents to help them understand and navigate youth sports.
Gareth Rees: Access for All, Culture through Community & What are You Being Sold?
Q: What should parents look for in a youth sports coach?
Parents should find coaches who focus on the development and process of each child rather than purely on winning. A good coach understands the needs of the players beyond immediate performance metrics.
Gareth Rees: Access for All, Culture through Community & What are You Being Sold?
Q: How can parents balance their role as clients of the sports organizations with their responsibilities as nurturing caregivers?
It starts with the parent, obviously, right? They must delineate between being an overpaying client and genuinely supporting their child's development.
