Active#009: Reed Maltbie; Educator/Coach with master’s degrees in Sport Psychology and Early Childhood Education
56:06 minutes podcast. I have learned so much in my research into adult behaviours and how it affect our children. Reed is one of my mentors.
With nearly 30 years of experience as an educator/coach and two master’s degrees (one in sport psychology and one in Early Childhood Education), Coach Reed has a wealth of practical experience and scientific research that he draws on to help athletes, coaches, and parents find more effective ways to navigate the youth sport environment.
Since the release of his 2015 TEDx talk “Echoes Beyond the Game”, he has become a trusted educator, advisor, and speaker to sports organizations all over the globe. I personally love when he is being geeky and break down the science and translate it into practical example of behaviors. He is certainly delivering in this podcast.
