When it comes to youth sports, This is the ONLY ROI (Return on Investment) that really matters Liked it so I am borrowing it Author Unknown This is how it should be 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 “People always asked "Why do you pay so much money for your kid to do sports”? Well I have a confession to make; I don't pay for my kid to to do sports. Personally, I couldn't care less about what sport she does. So, if I am not paying for sports what am I paying for? - I pay for those moments when my kid becomes so tired she wants to quit but doesn’t. - I pay for those days when my kid comes home from school and is “too tired" to go to her training but she goes anyway. - I pay for my kid to learn to be disciplined, focused and dedicated. - I pay for my kid to learn to take care of her body and learn how to correctly fuel her body for success. - I pay for my kid to learn to work with others and to be a good team mate, gracious in defeat and humble in success. - I pay for my kid to learn to deal with disappointment, when they don’t get that placing or title they'd hoped for, but still they go back week after week giving it their best shot. - I pay for my kid to learn to make and accomplish goals. - I pay for my kid to respect, not only themselves, but others, officials, judges and coaches. - I pay for my kid to learn that it takes hours and hours, years and years of hard work and practice to create a champion and that success does not happen overnight. - I pay for my kid to be proud of small achievements, and to work towards long term goals. - I pay for the opportunity my child has and will have to make life-long friendships, create lifelong memories, to be as proud of her achievements as I am. - I pay so that my child can be in the gym instead of in front of a screen... - I pay for those rides home where we make precious memories talking about practice, both good and bad. -I pay so that my child can learn the importance of time management and balancing what is important like school and keeping grades up ...I could go on but, to be short, I don't pay for sports; I pay for the opportunities that sports provides my kid with to develop attributes that will serve her well throughout her life and give her the opportunity to bless the lives of others. From what I have seen so far I think it is a great investment!” @SRUSA_Official

Unreal work ethic displayed by a small number but extremely dedicated young men-dads-coaches today! The Herk is ready for outdoor workouts ! Probably the earliest we’ve been ready in the last 33 years! First allowable optional BP workout is tomorrow! Thanks to all who helped!!

Reminder to coaches, as of today you can have 15 days of hitting practice with your players, but they need to be done by the end of April. Also, 5 of those can be full, voluntary practices with the team. Think warm baseball thoughts!!

The @IAHSBCA was saddened by the news of the loss of the winningest high school coach in the national. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Gene Schultz family during their time of grief.

Didn’t have Indiana as the first ever 16-0 team in CFB history on my bingo card. Wow. Congrats!

Observation 2: The Trainability Effect of Gaze Behaviors. I struggled with this observation. The research they identified was often so incredibly information processing based and it was unclear if their interventions were actually doing anything, or if players were getting better for other reasons. For example, one research example cited had to do with training quiet eye in an incredibly linear, expert model fashion. They showed that players got better at free throws in game by training QE over the course of 2 years. The problem? They showed no improvement in year 1 in the games. But only showed improvement in year 2. That SCREAMED to me that what was actually happening was that they were helping athletes with intention/attention but training them in incredibly decontextualized settings. Therefore, they didn't get any better year 1, but only after using those strategies during games in year 1 and then seeing the longer term transfer. Thus, this points more to the lack of representative learning design in their interventions. I agree that gaze can be trained. But it has to be EMBEDDED in the real thing. It can't be decomposed and then magically show up when constraints change. When you change constraints, the information the athlete connects to changes. Therefore, it is crucial that we have an element of representativeness in our training environments so we see a more effective transfer of training.

I just finished Gaze and Visual Perception in Sport and they finish in their afterword with 6 observations. I'd like to take the next few days to highlight each with some thoughts of my own after reading the book. Observation 1: The Strong Association between Quiet Eye and Targeting (Aiming) Performance. While QE definitely seems to be something that is important to performance, those who write about it do it from an information processing framework. So it tends to get applied as a one size fits all, non-functional, separate entity. It lends itself towards an expert model instead of being embedded in the performer-environment relationship and acknowledging constraints on behavior are going to shape and form this gaze behavior in different ways. In addition, much of the research is simply looking at averages over a handful of individuals, rather than each individual themselves. When we start to look at individuals, you see variability both between and within performers. So while QE is associated with performance, there are still a ton of questions about what functional QE looks like, as opposed to training it in a decontextualized way, searching for the one optimal QE.
