#94 Can We Promote and Teach Creativity with James Vaughan from the Player Development Project

by John O'Sullivan / Sunday, 23 December 2018 / Published in Podcast

We all want our players to be creative. We structure the way they train to promote creativity. We talk to them about embracing creativity. However, because we structure it, are we prohibiting the potential for creativity to arise? Is the macro-culture of youth sports holding back creativity? James Vaughan, who did a PhD in studying the cultural significance of creativity in sports, weighs in on this topic.
