Whether you’re looking to get/stay in shape, for a fun social activity, or interested just because... getting into #sports is a valuable experience. Sports can transform your life with positive effects on your physical and mental well-being. And some sports are easier to test out if you’re brand-new to the life of an athlete. Here’s a list of the 5 best sports for #beginners. 5 Best Sports for Beginners #Soccer ⚽ Perhaps one of the most accessible sports on our list, all you really need to play is a ball and net. And for first-time beginners, the net isn’t even required (you can create a makeshift goal with plenty of items). Not only is soccer accessible, it’s fairly easy to understand for beginners. #Basketball 🏀 Take a drive, walk, or bike ride around your local neighborhood. You’ll be surprised how many basketball courts you find in your local park. And those are just the ones outside. From there, all you need to get access to the wonderful sport of basketball is a ball!

Unleashing the Full Potential of Youth Sports: Prioritizing Practice for Lasting Development

Have you ever wondered what it costs to run a travel team? Here is the breakdown from one team and how to fix the pay-to-play youth sports environment. 

Through athletics, you gain skills that can best be acquired on a court, track, or field.

A question for you, this Monday morning, as you reach for your coffee (yet again): Is your work FUN? No, really-- is it? After reading this article by Stephen Borelli, with major contribution from Amanda J. Visek, PhD, CMPC, FAASP, you may see things differently. I coach kids in both Ice Hockey and Lacrosse. I'm also a former philosophy major who was particularly interested in defining a philosophy of sport. Most importantly, I'm a regular, plain old worker-guy who's finding his way through the jungle of his career just like you and millions of other professionals. I had the pleasure of virtually meeting Coach Borelli a number of months ago. I found our exchanges insightful then, but this collaboration was an absolutely fascinating read. Specifically, I couldn't help but find myriad parallels between the intentions of the authors as they relate to kids participating in sport, and the efforts of a conscious person who is inherently interested in what (s)he does for work. Without spoiling everything found in the article, I will note that the collaboration calls out characteristics of FUN in sport such as those "that are actionable, such as putting forward a strong effort, getting better at a sport and working together as a team. Fun drives confidence, the study shows, and it is at the heart of athletic development." -- sound familiar? Workers? Founders? Influencers? Everyone between? On [formerly Twitter], Dr. Visek lists all 11 of her criteria for "What makes sport FUN for athletes." This is an extraordinary analysis of what your child may consider actually important to the process. Certainly it encompasses much of what I want for my players as a coach, and also what I consider important to my own process as an adult, recreational participant in sport. I also believe the characteristics mirror what we all generally crave from our jobs as well. It's finally important to note that you will not find "winning" on Dr. Visek's List. The Twitter link lies below, but I encourage you to read Coach Borelli's article below that. As a bonus, you'll learn what Andre Agassi really thinks about the sport he's synonymous with. https://lnkd.in/ektBfJyH
