"Whose Game is it Anyway?"
Parents, youth sports can be a great experience for kids. If, advises sports psychologist Richard Ginsburg, Ph.D., you "know yourself, know your child, and know the environment."
McDonogh Parenting Education Committee will welcome Dr. Ginsburg, author of “Whose Game is it Anyway?” on Thursday, April 23 at 7 p.m. in the Ceres M. Horn Theatre.
Dr. Ginsburg, sports psychologist and Harvard Medical School professor, will speak to parents at 7 p.m. in the Ceres M. Horn Theatre. He will reflect on the highly competitive youth sports culture and highlight issues and concerns particularly relevant to McDonogh parents.
Among other topics, Dr. Ginsburg will address:
- the realities and myths surrounding college athletic scholarships
- teaching important life lessons through sports participation
- playing on elite teams at an early age
- the pros and cons of specialization for young players;
- navigating the competitive sports culture at any stage
Ginsburg, a Baltimore native and former independent school teacher, will show parents how their children can get the most out of youth sports. There will be a book sale and signing following Dr. Ginsburg’s presentation. His talk is free. All are welcome.
