Date: Monday, 7 March 2022
Time: 7pm - 8pm SG time 
Venue: Online via Microsoft Teams (MST)

Topic:

Children should be encouraged to reach for the stars, it is better for young people to have their dreams than none at all and if we realistically know the odds of success and are supported positively – does it give us a better chance of managing our own expectations and those of our children?

This workshop is about navigating some of the challenges, having the right expectations, managing disappointment and bouncing back together. It will also explore being comfortable with disappointment being part of the sporting journey and how parents can help develop character skills through sport and specifically through periods of disappointment

This workshop is free for all 2022 SG members.
