Prepare, Practice, Play with The Brand X Method™ | Episode 8
The Brand X MethodTM has been in the business of doing what's best for kids and teens for over 20 years. I have been an avid follower of them for much of that time, using their methodology in my PE classes and while coaching. Their approach to youth fitness is refreshing; when others are trying to get their kids to specialize and increase movement intensity, they are doing the opposite. This allows them to build a more solid and well-rounded foundation, being able to apply that to whatever activity they want to pursue.
From their website, "The mastery, confidence, and motivation that kids develop in our gyms are the ingredients of freedom and fearlessness. The Brand X MethodTM instills the essence of adventure, passion, and joy in kids and teens when playing their favorite sports, trying new things, and tackling life’s challenges so they can step out of our gyms knowing they can do whatever they set out to do."
In this episode we talk about Jeff, Mikki, and Keegan Martin about:
- Sports burn out
