In Endurance Sports for Kids: A Guide For Getting Your Kids Into Triathlon, Cycling, Swimming And More!, you’ll discover the miracle of what happens when a kid who doesn’t like sports or a quiet, under-confident kid discovers their inner strength by crossing the finish line of a run, a triathlon, a bike race or a swim in sports.
There is something about finishing a race and giving it your all that lifts you up for a lifetime. There is something unique and family-like about being part of a team. And there is something about all kids who know that all those adults who are cheering really care about them.
But endurance sports for kids must be done correctly. To avoid stunting growth, creating eating disorders, or creating hormone imbalances, endurance sports need to be introduced to kids with the right kind of care and proper instruction. Otherwise, even if they don’t get injured, kid-athletes will burn out and leave their sports during adolescence or earlier, perhaps never to return.
Inside this book, you will discover:
-Why endurance sports can help kids with fitness, confidence and social skills.
-How to introduce kids to endurance sports safely.
-How to ensure that endurance sports form lifelong active habits.
-How to give your kids a sense of confidence and identity as they build endurance.
-How to strengthen your family using endurance sports.
-And everything else you need to know to have your kid happily throwing their arms in the air as they cross the finish line!
If endurance sports are done right for kids, then both you and your kids will enjoy the entire process – and this book tells you exactly how to do it.
