Big Announcement – Join Me on Substack!
Hi WG Coaching Fans, Colleagues and Others Readers.
I’ve got some amazing news.
Sports – It’s about changing lives! (IMAGE – BEN WHITE – UNSPLASH)
I’ve started a SUBSTACK – https://waynegoldsmith.substack.com/
Some of my best and most innovative work will be highlighted on the Substack – which you can access for free at https://waynegoldsmith.substack.com/
There will also be Premium content – which will cost just 10 dollars a month – but it will give you access to some brilliant extended videos, podcasts and behind the scenes type information and ideas.
What’s my SUBSTACK all about:
🔹 Real-world wisdom – No theoretical fluff. Just practical approaches I’ve seen work with Olympic champions, professional teams, and grassroots programs alike.
🔹 Coaching contrarianism – I challenge conventional wisdom. If you’re tired of recycled coaching clichés and want fresh thinking, you’ve found your home.
🔹 Stories that teach – Learn through compelling narratives from my work with world-class coaches and athletes across six continents.
🔹 Beyond the scoreboard – Discover how to develop not just better athletes but better people who thrive long after their competitive careers end.
🔹 Innovation simplified – Complex concepts distilled into actionable insights you can implement immediately.

Here’s a sneak peak of the sort of thing you’ll find at https://waynegoldsmith.substack.com/
THE TALENT MYTH – THE COLD TRUTH.
Five things you need to know about kids and early shows of talent:
What parents say versus what they really mean about their “talented” child can be very different.
The cold truth: There are no ten-year-old champions.
Development isn’t linear – the talented 10-year-old might simply be physically mature for their age
What really matters: Is your child developing independence, resilience, and a healthy relationship with competition?
Love, value and accept your kids for who they – regardless of their sports performance. Win or lose – it does not matter. Love them – make the experience of sport joyful – and they’ll do the rest.
