Platform to Perform

Episode 14-The State of Australia's Youth S&C with Harry Weatherstone


Listen Later

In episode 14 of the Platform to Perform Podcast I was joined by my first international guest, founder of the Youth Athletic Development Academy, in the Sunshine Coast, Australia, Harry Weatherstone.

I first came across Harry’s work on Instagram, with his Mini Movers (5-8 year olds), KidFit (9-12 year olds) and his weekly YAD Academy challenges catching my eye.

On today’s episode I wanted to get Harry’s thoughts on:

  • What has caused Australia’s 70% increase in injuries requiring knee reconstruction in the past 15 years
  • Coaching considerations when dealing with kids as young as 5 years old
  • How he helps develop a growth mindset in the youth athletes he works with
  • How he develops rhythm, balance, and coordination in children
  •
