Episode #4: Self-esteem of my Raising Young Athletes podcast explores how self-esteem impacts young athletes’ athletic and personal development. Self-esteem involves how children come to perceive and value themselves, in other words, do they see themselves worthwhile people deserving of love and respect. Self-esteem influences happiness, well-being, goals, and success, among many other outcomes. This podcast will examine how parents can ensure that their children’s sports participation encourages the healthy development of self-esteem.
