One of the questions I am asked more often, I think that sport offers the best ability to develop young athletes.
This is a trick question, for various reasons ...
Before every sporting activity lead by a quality-based coach is wonderful for children.
That is, the true crux and efficacy of this claim is based largely on comments trainer for the quality. "
Only when the poorly trained and zealous parents and coaches(Adults), may also be involved in youth sport bitter experience. Parents often express too hard and seek success at a young age, coaches are often "limited in their understanding of scientific development" drill "routine with kids' sport-specific (I hate that phrase) exercises that belong to a narrow ( not to mention that many youth coaches do not know how to teach some aspects of movement and speed and still excited when their athletesRun a fake attention to a fairly high level).
One of the highlights and the latest problems, most of the comments above is that it seems there are many (all?) Outlet for children, more than just play. All youth sports is a fight to the death to a climax in the victory ... God did not really want to develop skills in a fun sound and energy to convey a sense of unity of our youth to promote - that was so emotionalStability (for example, highlighting the lessons of the season in place of "wins" and trophies accumulated learned) and mental stimulation (in the form of intervention to give life lessons that a love for life rather than for physical activity a win-at-all mentality, could cost care for children with various complexes for years).
That is, parents weekend, I encourage you remove desire to see the old man, his years, winning eight of the tournament, the coaches encourage you not to removeCappelli "Lombardi" If you go to a practice or game situation, I also encourage strength and conditioning coaches to remove there 'test' nostalgia young athletes Biomotor perspective and look only to increase the capacity of a child from a point performance perspective.
In fact ...
My message is simple ...
Sport season.
Search the coaches and the programs that the acquisition of skills, rather than highlighting the victory.
Find trainers who do the same - to take part in instilling skillsin children instead of creating performance markers.
So here's my four sports that all children should play) (in no particular order -
1) Football
In most North American kids lack foot dexterity and soccer is a wonderful natural enhancer of both foot dexterity and foot-eye coordination. Not fit this skill, since it is only for football. Keep in mind to absorb the key to developing a "whole" athletesSport as a possible stimulus at an early age. Increased foot dexterity, with time, completing a total capacity of young people and enables them to no sport "choice" more easily advance.
In addition, the Americans, although many consider football as "boring" (although I explain how football is boring, but shall include baseball and golf in the U.S.) is a beautiful sport and sport-based tactical. sudden bursts of explosive energy change, management, researchthe first two pieces, and plays a "force" the defense argues that the defender uses his body and the ability to change what he was doing the attacking - These are great lessons sports can be stored in the nervous system and is used at a later stage in any physical activity.
2) Parking
Downloaded shoulder and hip mobility adds a great flexibility in the structure of a young athlete. With many injuries, restrictions and tightness in children (Yes .. because II sincerely believe that many of the youth sports injuries, we could see, every year all over the world can be avoided with a simple increase in core strength and systemic and mobility) hip and shoulder mobility initiatives are crucial.
Furthermore, kinesthetic differentiation is a physical skill lacking in many kids (this refers to the knowledge of how much force is necessary to obtain a desired result). My opinion on this matter is simple - anything that tends towith children, both in sport and education efforts to the maximum. In our search for the "markers of performance," overlook the idea that submaximal efforts are developmentally sound and build some physical properties, not high spending power. Swimming is the essence of building kinesthetic differentiation - kids simply will not be long in a swimming pool, if put into force as possible on each shot.
3) Martial Arts
Almost allI know martial arts, on the basis of such capabilities as bookmarks. This is not only mentally and emotionally good for a child, but follows the teaching of patience and enjoy the ride "instead of" find the target. "
While many martial arts practices in North America have become watered down (8 years earning black belts - if you knew anything about traditional martial art, you know how ridiculous it is), most organizations arefamiliar with teach a wonderful style of patient skill development and discipline.
Sporty seen, dynamic flexibility, end-range systemic strength, mobility, spatial awareness - the physical ability built through martial arts is impressive and can be applied to any sport.
4) Gymnastics
Again, the physical elements that can be developed through gymnastics amazing - spatial awareness, flexibility, relative strength, static and dynamic balance - the list goes on.
Iffor no other reason, the ability to know where you are in the room and take a fall "good" is a necessary skill for any sport.
So ... Here's my list.
Do not get me wrong, the list is nothing without a head coach for the quality of each of these respective sports. Martial arts teachers, for example, are often archaic improve their knowledge of technical drawing heating gymnastics in their office, flexibility. That is, there are good coaches, and I urge you asParents find it. I also encourage trainers to joint-venture partnerships with quality coaches trying to improve the development of a child and is based with solid strength training and habits of the acquisition.
Playing football in the fall.
Swimming in the summer.
The participation in martial arts during the winter.
Take gymnastics in the spring.
Mix in a development program and other recreational sports for the sake of the interests and development (basketball and baseballExample).
At the age of 13 to 14, a solid athlete with limited injury, sports have understood tactics and is strong, flexible and mobile ...
It's not a bad place to be!
