Episode 12 - Interview With a 15 Year Old Hockey Player
Helen Wright is a five-time university national championship rugby coach and has been an influential creator and promotor of women’s rugby in Canada. This podcast is about her views and discussions on how coaching sports needs to change.
Episode #12 is an interview with Wyatt, a fifteen-year-old hockey player. Wyatt describes his motivation for playing sports and how he got started. There is an interesting connection to the sensory regulation that results as a natural outcome from practicing the skills of hockey and the related joy he feels in those moments. He describes the influences of his coaches and his team mates and provides a surprisingly positive and mature view of sport’s value to the lives of young participants.
