new york yankees backpacks
As a result of a fight at a Yankee game in New York, an explosion at the U.S. Open and some unpleasant actions by politicians and celebrities, I was interviewed by Cindy Hsu of WCBS TV in New York. During the interview, I explained what parents can do to help children learn from these events.
The interview made me think more about your problem and what could be done. Here is a list of 14 tips that may help:
1. Parents, Coaches and league officials need to establish guidelines and standards with consequences for violence, Trash Talk and inappropriate behavior.
2. Parents need sports model and the idea of treating others with kindness, dignity and respect.
3. Children need to learn to manage anger, self-control, management frustration and meditation techniques at an early age.
4. Young athletes need to understand that anger be prevented from entering the area and the realization of the best.
5. Athletes should be encouraged to respect their opponents. After all, they are practicing and working hard and trying to do well.
6. You can not always get what you want in sport or in life.
7. Sports can be serious and competitive, but that should not be the life or death situations.
8. You might need to rethink the idea of winning at all costs all the time.
9. Children should be encouraged to focus on mastery, discipline, respect and companionship, as well as win.
10. Angry moods are no fun and very dangerous.
11. Sports reflect the type of selfishness and narcissism, which seems widespread in our culture right now.
12. Let your performance speak instead the mouth or fists.
