Beth Kerr: Cutting Out The Wellbeing Waffle For Parents Supporting Young Footballers

Wellbeing consultant Beth Kerr breaks down wellbeing for young athletes and their parents. She explains that wellbeing is about feeling comfortable, happy, and healthy, but the key is understanding what contributes to it.

Beth mentions important factors like sleep, diet, exercise, relationships, and doing meaningful activities. She points out that athletes might excel in some areas, like exercise, but struggle in others, such as maintaining relationships due to busy schedules.

The main takeaway? Wellbeing looks different for everyone. It’s about finding the right balance of these factors for you or your young athlete. This practical approach can help parents support their kids in youth football, focusing on overall health and happiness alongside athletic development.
