The Builder, the Bruiser, and the Bystander
Manage episode 482871504 series 3448487
Every adult in youth sports leaves a lasting impact—whether they mean to or not.
In this episode, I'm inspired by Garry Linton's instagram post (@takeflightcoach) to break down the three types of adults youth athletes encounter: the Builder, the Bruiser, and the Bystander. Through real-life coaching and parenting examples, I explore how each role shapes a child’s development—on the field and far beyond it.
You’ll learn:
- How Builders create safe, growth-focused environments
- How Bruisers let ego and outcomes outweigh development
- How Bystanders, though quiet, still send powerful messages
- And how to reflect and shift your own approach, whether you're a coach, parent, or a leader in youth sports
This episode is a must-listen for anyone invested in youth sports—and ready to show up with more intention.
