Of the many topics the Responsible Sports community discusses and requests information on, the ability to extract out teachable life lessons from sports is always at or near the top of the list. Conversation with your children about their youth wrestling experience is the single most important factor in their ability to take life lessons from their playing career, no matter if it’s only one season, or they go on to play a number of years. 

Because of the buzz around this topic, Responsible Sports has devoted an entire section to creating meaningful conversations with your athlete. A few pages that explore this in detail are the Mastery Approach, Filling Emotional Tanks and Honoring the Game. Get more information on taking life lessons from youth  and watch a parent and son after practice bring this principle to life. 

The Liberty Mutual Responsible SportsTM program supports volunteer youth sports coaches and parents who help our children succeed both on and off the mat.  We offer many youth sports resources including $2,500 community grants, instructional videos, weekly tips, peer and expert advice, and coursework for those interested in improving the youth sports experience for all involved.
