It’s now the catch phrase amongst many professionals – “know your why” – but what about our kids? Why are they drawn to sports? How do we motivate them to try their hardest, without pushing them too far? In this presentation, Kelly will address signs of burnout and how to help navigate the ups and downs in sports and performances. Intrinsic and extrinsic motivation consumes many performers – how do we help younger generations uncover their why? In addition, we will unpack goal setting for youth and teens and how we as adults can help them organize and accomplish their dreams in reasonable and realistic ways.
This interactive workshop will be conducted in a virtual format, accommodating a maximum of 10 participants to ensure personalized attention and meaningful engagement. The session will blend informative presentations, experiential activities, and interactive discussions, culminating in a dedicated Q&A segment to address participants' specific queries and concerns.
