Emotional welfare specialist working in pro-football.

‘With freedom and without fear’ is the perfect environment for children to thrive. As parents, carers, coaches, and the football community, this should be our collective responsibility. When we deprive children of their innate drive to freely create and develop, and instead impose a fear of judgment and the need to please the adults around them, the result is disengaged, anxious, and stifled children. Is this the type of "playing" you remember from your own childhood?’

“Personally a story that rings true with myself. A kid with potential but on reflection the love of the game was lost when everything became too serious too early and a few years down the line I burnt out. I’m unsure what the statistics are surrounding drop out but from a professional point of view, am aware that research suggests two amongst a number of reasons why children drop out from sport are a lack of enjoyment and social pressures.”
