Can you feel it? The pressure is high. The fear of missing out is real, but what happens to your athlete when they specialize too early? In today's huddle, I talk with Brett Klika from SPIDERfit kids about the very real dangers of early sports specialization. Brett shares important insights with us from his extensive background working with youth athletes all the way to professional athletes. Stay with us for this one...it's information you'll need. Brett shares with us... Why he started the SPIDERfit Kids movement and how his experience with young athletes all the way to professional athletes shapes everything he does. How SPIDERfit Kids empowers coaches, parents, and educators with everything they need. Why working with kids is not just babysitting, it's so much more. The reality that organized sports is where our kids are being active and why it's important to understand this and what it means for youth sports. Who drives early sports specialization? What is sports specialization and why it causes problems for the long-term athlete? What do the national organization for sport think about sports specialization and what are they recommending? What is a parents role? Why is it important for parents to be on the same page with team values? CONTINUE THE HUDDLE WE LOVE HEARING FROM YOU!
