INTRODUCTION TO THE HIERARCHY OF MATURATION IN SPORTS AND LIFE

In this Step Two section, we discuss the chronological development and challenges of maturing as both a person and as a young athlete or competitor.  Our approach of providing an early step-by-step, sequential, practical approach to our mental/behavioral health advisory/educational services is once again utilized; as we address the various emotional and mental/behavioral health issues associated with growing-up and becoming an adult – both in life and participating in sports/competitive activities.

Taking what is complex and simplifying it isn’t simple, but we attempt to provide useful, practical informative guidance to educate and inform users regarding their particular area(s) of interest.

As a young athlete or young person entering this site, please accept our gesture of informative good will; then use our library and other resources to expand your knowledge, so that you may gain a better understanding and insights to what contributes to feelings of accomplishment and self-esteem or harmful, consequences through your participation in sports and other non-athletic, competitive activities.

It is our fervent hope that we can contribute to your ability to make good decisions for yourself.  If you have stumbled and lost your way in life, we are not judgmental and/or involved with assigning labels.  We strive to help you get back-up on your feet and set you on your way to a happier, life fulfilling future.

We place special emphasis on the role of parents during the early formative years of their children …and feel that their imparted values and morals can assist individuals throughout their entire adult lives.  We allude to positive, caring, passionate advocates, versus users that are more vested in their own gain, motives and self enrichment.

“REMEMBER, YOU ARE MUCH MORE THAN AN EXPENDABLE ASSET TO BE USED AND EXPLOITED

…YOU ARE A HUMAN BEING AND YOU ARE IMPORTANT!”
