Hugh's talk will exhibit both his love for coaching and that of sport. He will share his growth from a ""win-at-all-costs"" coach that took the experience away from the kids, to a parent and coach who values giving all children the opportunity to learn, grow, compete, and keep on playing.

Hugh will get you to question as a parent, coach, or educator some common practices that are accepted in youth sport. He will get you to wonder what these practices are doing to the mindset of young athletes. Hugh will also have you think about some simple things that can be done as a parent, coach, and educator to reverse the trend and to get kids enjoying the game and wanting to participate in sports longer.
