Dr. Cassidy Preston from Consistent Elite Performance talks today about his worries for athletes development both physically and mentally. Today's athletes are not as focused or devoted to the whole experience of being an athlete. He explains why.  We discuss how phones are dtrcting from social relationships with teammates and coaches. They don't stretch or work on their bodies to meet the highest standard of their sport. We talk about how social media is distracting athetes from listening and inhibiting their focus. It is also causing them to stay up late and have less energy at practices and games. Believe it or not, phones are now dividing athletes into two groups, they elite and the underdeveloped and weak. If kids are not outside playing or in actitivites, they lie around not allowing their bodies to grow or help their muscles to become strong. Dr. Preston and I are worried for the future of athletes but are also concerned how parents are helping their childs' cause but adding toxicity to the sports culture.
