Simple things

Happy children are happy when they’re loved; made to feel good, and good about themselves.

When we are happy, we try and, if we try often enough, two things occur: we find pursuits we enjoy and have talent for and we make progress in things we don’t.

Brains not brawn

Solve the problem that is my perceived deficiency as a player or solve the challenge of todays game, as it’s playing out in front me? Those are the choices. Too many young people get stuck in the former and, therefore, don’t recognise and adapt to the challenge of the game. Why? Fear and insecurity; a focus on what they can’t do over what they can. They also don’t know, because no one points it out, that their brains are a remarkable learning machine. Every child has a super computer between their ears that is a far more powerful tool than any physical capacity could every hope to be. There is no magical transformation when it comes to calming and quietening the mind, but we are all capable of learning to be better at it if the commitment is made. Tell and show your children that greatness is between the ears and not in the hands or feet. A sharper mind is the real goal, and it's available to all.
