This event is sponsored by Mickey Kydes Soccer and is free to all WSA members. However, space may be limited and we ask that only one player and one parent per family attend.
Topic:
Optimizing Talent Development: Strategies for Soccer Players and Parents:
This presentation will focus on what is currently known about athletic development. It will describe the characteristics of expert soccer players and three distinct stages of talent development. Strategies for soccer players to enhance their development will be presented. The influence of parents in this process will also be discussed - highlighting findings that show how parents help, but sometimes hinder, talent development.
Presented by:

Dr. Treasure has held faculty positions at Arizona State University, Southern Illinois University and the University of Illinois. He has published over 60 scientific articles, book chapters, and a soon to be released edited volume on motivation in sport and exercise.

Both during and following his time in academics, he has worked with Olympic, World and NCAA champions and professional athletes in a number of sports. His past and present clients include sport national governing bodies and federations (e.g., FIFA, NCAA), professional teams, coaches, coach associations and athletes in a variety of sports (e.g., NFL, MLB, NBA, MLS, & EPL).
