College SPORT SHOULD BE FUN

 

 

When we talk to students like yourself who are participating in youth sport, they tell us that what they want most in sports is to have fun, to learn new skills and get better at the skills they already have, to develop physical fitness, and to compete against other students.

Your coaches try to do their best to help you achieve these goals. But you have to help too! What can YOU do? Here are some ideas:

  • Always try as hard as you can, both in practice and in competition.

     

  • Remember that practicing your skills is the most important thing you can do to make yourself a better athlete.

     

  • Everyone makes mistakes when they play sports, even the very best athletes like the professionals. Don't get upset at yourself or others when mistakes happen. Just try harder the next time. No one is perfect.

     

  • Help your teammates to get better too. Encourage them, don't criticize them.

  • Pay attention when your coaches are teaching you skills or strategies. Ask questions if you don't understand what they said.

     

  • Your parents may not know very much about the sport you are playing. Talk to them about your sport. Explain how the sport is played. Tell them what you do in practices to learn your sport.

     

  • Is winning real important to you? Think about this little saying: To win the game is great, To play the game is greater, To love the game is greatest.

    • Now get out there and have FUN!

      Have you ever witnessed any inappropriate behavior of parents toward children, coaches or officials at a youth sporting event? Before you answer “no” so emphatically, take into consideration that yelling at a referee for missing a call at a 5-year-old soccer game qualifies as inappropriate behavior.

    Lester Munson, an associate editor at Sports Illustrated, will deliver the keynote address, which will focus on the growing trend of anger and violence in youth sports. Munson is an award-winning writer and a member of the Illinois Bar Association.
