The Power of Sports/The Problem with Sports was written/compiled by Ryan Krzykowski, Director of Community for Coaches  

There is no recreational, elective activity that involves a larger number or more diverse group of people in our country than sports. According to the US Census Bureau, approximately 50 million American children are involved in organized sports. That is an astounding number, but the percentage that will someday play professionally is microscopic.  So with all these millions of young people competing, it’s fair to ask, what is it all for?

CEP #1 SHOW NOTES This show is part of our Coaching with Purpose Series: Alec and Ryan discuss the question of if sports are making our city better?  This is an intro episode to Module 1 of the Coaching with Purpose Lessons.  Ryan and Alec start with a big picture question: "Is sports making Kansas City a better place?"  Ryan speaks about where CFC fits in helping make Kansas City better? Ryan speaks about the role of kids, parents and coaches in youth sports.  - There is very real battle when watching your own kids play to not intangible yourself in the experience in an unhealthy way. Ask yourself, "Why am I here?" - What is the difference between 100% about the kids and 100% about my KID? - How coaches oversee and direct the whole youth sports process. - The problem of coaches forgetting the purpose of why we have kids do sports.  - The parent test, "Can you celebrate any good play on the field, no matter who makes the play?" - The problem of a vague target?  - How to have an abstract yet specific target. - What are you looking for when you are coaching 6 year olds? - What are you looking for when you are coaching high school players? - How does having a coaching purpose statement change what coaches see on the field?  What is a Coaching Life Group?  What is the benefit of being a part of a Coaching Life Group?  What will a successful group do for a coach?
