“All the best games are designed by children” – David Baird on the innovation of co-creation
Join host Laura-Jane Jones and coach David Baird for a passionate discussion about children’s creativity and how coaches can work with young people to foster an environment of innovation and fun.
David is an experienced coach who is passionate about children’s growth and participation, so much so that he created a concept and penned a book called Scoreboard Soccer, which is a way to engage children in football through games which can be co-created or invented by children and young people. In this episode, they discuss the power of children's creativity and autonomy, as well as practical advice on how to adapt Scoreboard Soccer and a child-first approach in different sporting contexts.
If you’re looking for new ways to encourage children to take the lead in their own play, this is a great place to start.
