Youth Sports TED Talk Roundup
12/19/2017
Ideas worth spreading. That's the tagline of TED, an organization that spreads those ideas through videos of short, powerful talks. It started with a focus on Technology, Entertainment and Design but now the talks span all topic areas, including youth sports.
Just a few months ago, a staff member from a NAYS Member Organization, Buffalo Grove Park District (Ill.), presented "Sucking the fun out of youth sports" at a local, independent TEDx event in his community. He shares stories about his sports experiences, including one where he confronts a coach who is out of line.
Over the years several speakers have shared youth sports related talks at TEDx events. Below is a roundup of some of them. Parents, coaches, league directors and others with an interest in youth sports may find these videos to be insightful, inspiring and eye-opening.
Does a particular message from any of these videos resonate with you? Please share it in the comment section.
