Beyond Winning
What is it about sports that kids truly enjoy? Hint: It's rarely to do with winning trophies. For most kids, it's about having a pressure-free blast with their mates.
But unfortunately, as they grow older, the fun and flexibility often fade within club-based structures, and so does participation.
Host Jo White is joined by the remarkable Professor Rochelle Eime, Deputy Chair of Vicsport to unpack the game-changing insights and strategies of her ground-breaking research, "Sport4Me. This people-focused approach emphasizes fun, inclusivity, and flexibility, nurturing the enthusiasm of players and keeping them in games they love.
