THE LONG GAME · A PARENT’S FIELD GUIDE TO YOUTH SPORT
This season is loud. The next ten years matter more.
Most advice answers this week's worry. The Long Game is the whole picture — specialisation, training load, recovery, talent and your role in it. The science of a childhood in sport, in plain English.
What’s inside
Specialisation
when picking one sport helps, and when it quietly costs your child their options.
Training load
how much is enough, what's too much, and how to count what nobody sees.
Recovery
sleep, food and downtime: the part of training that happens at home.
Talent
what "talented at twelve" actually predicts (less than you think), and what to watch instead.
Your role
what helps from the touchline and the car, and what doesn't.
