Today, I talk with Dr. Steven Reinlie an advocate and student of Long Term Athletic Development (LTAD) to dispel some of the myths around raising kids to become great athletes. We touch on the stages of athletic development in kids, how to effectively communicate with kids at different levels of psychological development, and how and when kids should specialize.
