We get it – parents want their children to do well. Turns out the best way for that to happen is counterintuitive: kids enjoy sports more, play longer, and even perform better when their parents relax and let youth sports be their kids’ thing.
That's why these videos are spreading word about a movement of parents who are brave enough to back off so their kids will stay in the game.
PCA-Colorado is a Chapter of the national non-profit Positive Coaching Alliance, developing Better Athletes, Better People through youth and high school sports.
These videos were produced by PCA-Colorado in collaboration with Boulder-based social change agency Fearless Unlimited, thanks to a gift from the Daniels Fund.
