141 How to Help a Child Who Wants to Quit Sport
In this short solo episode, I answer a question posed by a parent. “My son has had a tough time recently and often talks about not wanting to continue with football.”
Sadly, this question appears to be a common one at present and shows no signs of going away potentially down to the pressures placed on children at a young age, both in their sport and education. I do my best to give sporting parents one idea on how you can help them and open up a conversation on the topic.
