Does your child having talent is sport? Do you want to help them reach their potential?
Otago Māori Rugby is proud to present, The Developing Athlete with Dr Craig Harrison.
Adolescence is a unique stage in physical and psychological growth that significantly affects what a developing athlete needs from sport. Drawing from the latest research and over 20 years experience, Craig uses real-life stories to make this fascinating topic easy to understand with practical tips to help young athletes navigate a rapidly changing body and mind and reach their best performance.
A thought-provoking and entertaining evening with Craig, this event is a ‘must see’ for parents/caregivers with kids who love their sport and for coaches and administrators working with youth athletes.
About Craig:
Dr Craig Harrison works with sports parents, coaches and organisations to develop more creative, confident and resilient young athletes. He holds a PhD in athlete development and supervises a number of postgraduate students at AUT University. Craig also hosts the popular podcast, The Athlete Development Show.
What people are saying about Craig's talk:
“Craig's presentation about the Developing Athlete is a must-do. If you are involved with youth sport in any way, from having young children beginning their sporting careers through to dedicated focused teenagers, if you are a parent, supporter, coach or manager then the content Craig presents will be incredibly valuable to you. It will give you insights into your own behaviours and how these will be influencing the behaviour and actions of our youth. It is filled with eye opening data, practical wisdom, inspiring stories and so many take outs that you will find yourself thinking about it and discussing ideas for days to come. It made us all stop and think about how we support our young, what’s important, and how can we do better, but all presented in a positive encouraging way.” Leigh Jeffery, Sports Mum
