Libby Trickett Says We’re Taking Kids’ Sport Too Seriously
About this episode
Libby Trickett discusses the seriousness of kids' sports and the importance of enjoyment over competition.
Kids’ sport is supposed to be fun. So when did it start feeling so serious? This week, Simon and Lachy are joined by Olympic champion and mum Libby Trickett for a conversation about pressure, competition, quitting, sideline parenting and why kids don’t need to specialise early to succeed. Libby shares what she’s learned as both an elite athlete and a parent - and why the best thing we can do is help kids enjoy movement for life, not just chase the win.
