Restructuring Youth Sports in the Public School System with Advocate & Coach Mitch Lyons

04/07/23 • 57 min

Mitch Lyons has made it his mission to reform and remodel athletics within the public school system.
His belief through historical context and research-based learning implored him to advocate for students, parents and administrators through two non-profit organizations: GetPsychedSports.org and EndAbusiveCoaching.org. As a result, he has conducted workshops on educational athletics and Social Emotional Learning.
Mitch has also coached basketball for over 25 years at just almost every level (community, travel, AAU, high school and college). Now retired, Mitch also practiced law and used that skill set to help implement change and legislation in the state of Massachusetts.
In this episode, Mitch discusses the work of his non-profit organizations, the emotional and physical abuse that comes with youth sports, how to create a positive environment and giving children a voice to feel comfortable speaking openly with their coaches.
