How is Skye Eddy making the youth sports sideline a better place?Anyone who has ever attended a youth sports game knows that the sideline can be a pretty intense place. Emotions often run high as parents, coaches, and young athletes strive for results and recognition. However, player development and a healthy motivational climate are often sacrificed as a result.My guest in this episode, Skye Eddy, is the founder of the Soccer Parenting Association. Skye is a former professional soccer player, collegiate All-American goalkeeper, licensed coach, and most importantly, a soccer parent. Over the past eight years, her mission has been inspiring young athletes by empowering parents.In Episode 52, Skye shares her aim of making youth sports sidelines healthier by arming parents with information that allows them to be their best.So, what's your biggest takeaway from my conversation with Skye Eddy?My biggest takeaway is that establishing clear boundaries is critical in order for healthy youth sport relationships to exist. Youth sport athletes are most likely to reach their potential if adults clearly understand their proper role in the athlete's development process.My suggestion to parents is seek out education in order to perform at your best as a sports parent. It may be cliche, but knowledge is indeed power.I want to thank Skye for her kind generosity and the wisdom she shared with The Freshman Foundation Community.You can learn more about Skye and the Soccer Parenting Association by visiting their website at https://soccerparenting.com and on social media @SoccerParenting. To learn HOW mental performance coaching can help your mind work FOR you rather than AGAINST you, visit https://michaelvhuber.com.Thank you for listening.

Her soccer involvement and being a parent (to Cali and Davis) are her favorite things. To be able to combine the two with SoccerParenting.com makes perfect sense. Skye’s experiences growing up in the game are a regular source of reflection for me as she shares on SoccerParenting.com. The Soccer Parenting Association is a movement for social change that aims to elevate the game and enhance every child’s youth soccer experience by engaging, educating, supporting and advocating for parents. They commit to holding coaches to a high standard of integrity, professionalism and compassion so our children feel optimistic about their potential, even in the face of defeat. They want our children’s to develop grit, determination, and resiliency while learning the empathy, compassion and solidarity that will make them caring and committed adults. They do by establishing an environment where ALL children play because they LOVE TO PLAY, not because they want a college scholarship or a professional contract.New program enhancements for 2017 include: MySoccerParenting.com, the Parent Education Platform to serve parents, who are the missing link when it comes seeing growth and improvement become a reality; and The Sideline Project that will educate parents (and coaches) on the negative affect of sideline distractive and hostile communication.In this episode:•Holding coaches to a high standard of integrity, professionalism and compassion so our children feel optimistic about their potential, even in the face of defeat.•Parent side-line behavior and engaging parents to improve Club sports culture.•Teaching players empathy, compassion and solidarity to make them caring, committed adults.•How and why she created a special soccer parenting platform
