Roni wears many hats in the world of youth sports and brings a wealth of knowledge to the conversation. This week we discuss strategies and ways parents can engage in their children’s sport that can be helpful for the child and . . . the parent.

Her frame of reference provides strategies that foster children to gain independence and resilience, especially around the development of emotional and social skills. In addition, Roni talks about her role in the arena of Adaptive Sports and the opportunities this space allows for all youth to be a part of the sports.
